In 1981, the current line-up of The Hollies broke up after the departure of long-time guitarist [[Terry Sylvester]] and bassist [[Bernie Calvert]].<ref name="Nash">{{cite book|author=Malcolm C. Searles|title=Riding the Carousel|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DjpUzgEACAAJ&q=Riding+the+Carousel|year=2021|publisher=Troubador Publishing Limited|isbn=9781800463493|page=468}}</ref> Remaining members singer Allan Clarke, guitarist [[Tony Hicks]] and drummer [[Bobby Elliott]] invited founding Hollies' members [[Eric Haydock]] (bass) and Graham Nash to perform on the British TV show [[Top Of The Pops]], where they played the current medley-hit "Holliedaze". Graham Nash then joined the band in September 1981 for a studio recording session of the song "Something Ain't Right" and contributed some harmonies.<ref name="Abbey">{{cite book|author=Bobby Elliott|title=It's Ain't Heavy, It's My Story|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r9YjygEACAAJ|year=2020|publisher=Omnibus Press|isbn=9781913172206|page=310}}</ref> The collaboration suited the band so well that they decided to record a full album with Nash. Backing tracks were recorded in the UK in March and May 1982 (the bass parts were recorded by [[Alan Tarney]], Andy Brown and Steve Stroud), vocals with Graham Nash were added in Los Angeles in February 1983.<ref>Peter Doggett, ''The Long Road Home'' (CD box liner notes), EMI Records Ltd, 2003.</ref> Half of the album was written by keyboardist and songwriter Paul Bliss (later a sidesman with [[The Moody Blues]]), and "If the Lights Go Out" was written by [[Mike Batt]].
