Rhodes recorded the album in his home studio. At the time, union rules required that recordings released on major labels must be recorded in proper studios, so the fact that this was a home recording could not be mentioned on the cover. The runout groove of the original LP release on Dunhill Records contained a decorative banner proclaiming, \"Recorded at Home.\" Rhodes wanted to call the album Homecooking, but Dunhill decided to title it Emitt Rhodes. Rhodes recorded the instruments on a four-track recorder and then approached Dunhill, who gave him a contract. He transferred the four-track instrumental recordings to an eight-track recorder to add the vocals on the four additional channels (and using a better microphone). The album reached number 29 on the Billboard album chart. The single \"Fresh as a Daisy\" reached number 54 on the Hot 100. Billboard later called the album one of the \"best albums of the decade\". The song \"Lullabye\" was featured in the film The Royal Tenenbaums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integral Distribution Services","offers":[{"title":"LP - Green","offer_id":51054384906571,"sku":"2238038","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/R-3911355-1544652970-1788_42a275c6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1736266222"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_aa8465dd_thumbnail_4096_25f81d23-e3ed-4aa5-a64c-c07f0dfd94c2.jpg?v=1736266201","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/emitt-rhodes.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
