Before the release of the first album, and due to the success of the first single the Yacht put out a live version of the song (as a freebe):
2/1/78 (1978)
- Suffice To Say (Live)
- On And On
On the cover of the single the group appears as a four-piece, and as a four-piece the group continued to record. After the departure of Campbell and Dempsey (the latter replaced by Ray "Chopper" Cooper, then Glyn Havard and finally Mick Shiner), the Yachts release a new single:
Now I'm Spoken For (1979)
- Now I'm Spoken For
2/1/78 (1978)- Suffice To Say (Live)
- On And On

The album had also a US version with a differently ordered track-list (without Spimosa, but with Revelry and I Couldn't Get Along Without You This album, which is said to suffer from an uncharacteristically poor production by Martin Rushent, is considered “a mediocre follow-up and the band's parting shot” (Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide).
In 1981 the group released their final single
Fool Like You (1981)- Fool Like You
- Dubmarine
At this point, not only power pop started to fall from favour, but also the fact of not being taken seriously because of funny lyrics may have taken its toll, and the band finally split up in 1981. Priestman went on to join It's Immaterial, Wah! and, later The Christians.
