She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter peaked at No. 20 in the UK Album Chart in April 1987 (only their 1989 greatest hits compilation, Choices - The Singles Collection, fared better, getting to No. 5).
She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter also included another remarkable ballad, "Beautiful Child" (a non-album duet version also exists, again with Curtis Mayfield), while Checking Out" was later reworked on Springtime for the World in a more defined, powerful way.
