Background
In June 1974, Bad Company released their self-titled debut album. Three months later, the band and recording engineer Ron Nevison recorded at least eight songs at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, England. Sometime later Nevison mixed the songs for Straight Shooter at Air Studios in London. The sleeve for the album was designed by Hipgnosis, who also designed their debut album.
The first single from the album, "Good Lovin' Gone Bad", was released in March 1975 and reached #36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was released in April. The album's final single "Feel Like Makin' Love" was released in August and reached #10 on the Hot 100.
