Jailbreak was released in March 1976 and was seen as the bands breakthrough album in America reaching number 18 in the Billboard charts and was a top ten record in the UK. Johnny The Fox was recorded in the same year and was released in October 1976 to critical acclaim and got to no 11 in the UK charts.
