The album became a major seller in Europe, specifically in the Nordic countries (number 1 in Sweden and Finland, number 2 in Norway), but in the US the album just missed the album chart. Tracks include the hits “Daddy Cool” (number 1 in eight European countries, number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100), “Sunny” (top 5 in many European countries) and the debut single “Baby Do You Wanna Bump”.

The title track “Take the Heat off Me” is also a cover, of the 1974 Italian hit “Nessuno mai” (“No one ever”) by Italian artist Marcella Bella.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Versions of three tracks had previously been released by another Farian produced artist Gilla in German, “Take the Heat off Me” (“Mir ist kein weg zu weit”), “Lovin’ or Leavin'” (“Lieben und frei sein”) and the UK\/US exclusive “Help, Help” (“Ich brenne”), the last of which Gilla also recorded in English. Gilla would furthermore record German versions of “Sunny” and “No Woman No Cry”, using the same backing tracks. The B-side of the single “Sunny”, the non-album track “New York City”, also recycles Gilla, in fact two of her tracks: “Tu Es” (English version “Why Don’t You Do It”) and “Ich brenne” (“Help, Help!”). “Got a Man on My Mind” was rewritten from Farian’s “Am Samstagabend”, the B-side of his 1976 hit single “Rocky”.“Daddy Cool” is in fact the only truly original track on the album.Track listing[edit]Side A“Daddy Cool” (Frank Farian, George Reyam (Hans-J\u00f6rg Mayer)) \u2013 3:29“Take the Heat off Me” (Bigazzi, Gianni Bella) \u2013 4:47“Sunny” (Bobby Hebb) \u2013 4:03“Baby Do You Wanna Bump” (Zambi (Frank Farian)) \u2013 6:53Side B“No Woman No Cry” (Vincent Ford, Bob Marley) \u2013 4:59“Fever” (Eddie Cooley, John Davenport) \u2013 4:00“Got a Man on My Mind” (Frank Farian, Fred Jay) \u2013 3:25“Lovin’ or Leavin'” (Frank Farian, Fred Jay) \u2013 4:29Personnel[edit]MusiciansLiz Mitchell \u2013 lead vocals (tracks A3, B1, B2 & B3), backing vocalsMarcia Barrett \u2013 lead vocals (tracks A2 & B4), backing vocalsFrank Farian \u2013 lead vocals (tracks A1 & A4), backing vocalsThe Rhythm Machine \u2013 musiciansGary Unwin \u2013 bass guitarKeith Forsey \u2013 drumsNick Woodland \u2013 guitarThor Baldursson \u2013 keyboardsProductionFrank Farian \u2013 producerSteven Hammer (Stefan Klinkhammer) \u2013 arranger, conductorRecorded at Union Studios, Munich and Europasound Studios, FrankfurtWeekly charts[edit]Year-end charts[edit]Certifications[edit]Reissued[edit]1994: CD, BMG, 74321 21271 22007: CD, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, 886970826022011: Boney M.
