of Yugoslavia in preparation for a nationwide tour of the United States with American band Styx. The album was initially well received in the US; at one point, it was the third most played album in the Billboard airplay charts behind Bob Dylan's Street Legal and The Who's Who Are You. Following heavy airplay, the album entered the album charts, but due to the recording of Styx new album overrunning, Styx cancelled their planned US tour and airplay for Liar's album soon tailed off and the album left the charts. A decision was then made by Delta and Bearsville for the band to record another album in California. Thus, in late 1978, the band took up temporary residence in Hollywood and recorded a third album at Stevie Wonder's Crystal Studios in Los Angeles, again produced by John Alcock. Unfortunately Paul Fishkin, (President of Bearsville Records), who had signed Liar, fell out with Bearsville owner Albert Grossman. Liar's contract with Bearsville guaranteed financial touring support but Grossman refused to support a US tour to promote the new album and talks between Liar's management and Bearsville broke down and a release from their contract with Bearsville was agreed. The band returned to the UK and undertook a successful sell out tour with UFO, culminating in two nights at the then Hammersmith Odeon. There were negotiations for a new record deal with A&M Records and Chrysalis Records but nothing was signed and Liar folded; the Hammersmith Odeon gig on 16 February 1979 becoming their last.
