A single, \"\u003cem\u003eIndiana Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e,\" was released by Jet Records in 1976 but failed to gain airplay or commercial traction and so the release of the album was shelved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoy Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e later reflected, \"The album was probably a last attempt to retain some sort of sanity, trying to grow up, and not carry on indefinitely being just another pop group\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1999 the master tapes were re-discovered and \u003cem\u003eMain Street\u003c\/em\u003e finally saw the light of day for the first time on CD. However, the title was deleted within a few years and has remained unavailable for nearly two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis welcome Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly re-mastered and includes the bonus track \"\u003cem\u003eHuman Cannonball\u003c\/em\u003e\" which was recorded during the album sessions.
