Background
The album was originally released in October 1980 on the back of his first top 20 hit "Marie, Marie". However, a later single "This Ole House" became a much bigger hit, peaking at No. 1 for three weeks in March 1981. The album was quickly re-issued with the same cover but now under the title This Ole House. It peaked at No. 2, giving Stevens' his first top ten album. It spent 28 weeks on the UK Charts and was certified Gold by the BPI. The album also contains earlier singles "Hey Mae" and "Shooting Gallery".
"Marie, Marie" is a song by Dave Alvin and his band The Blasters, released on their 1980 album American Music.
"This Ole House" replaced the song "Two Hearts" (later titled "Two Hearts Two Kisses") from the original album. The album retained most of the same musicians from the Take One! (1980) album, with the addition of Welsh guitarist (and ex-member of Stevens' previous backing group the Sunsets) Mickey Gee.
The album was re-issued on CD for the first time in 2009 as part of The Epic Masters boxset.
