The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on January 3, 1990. == Background == In Spring 1971, the gory extended album track "[D.O.A.](/source/D.O.A._(song))" became the biggest hit of Bloodrock's career when it was issued in edited form as a single. The motivation for writing the song was explained in 2005 by guitarist Lee Pickens. "When I was 17, I wanted to be an airline pilot," Pickens said. "I had just gotten out of this airplane with a friend of mine, at this little airport, and I watched him take off. He went about 200 feet in the air, rolled and crashed."Wheeler, Lisa. “Grapevine: I Remember . . . Bloodrock Reunite”.
