It was released in 1972, and would be their last for over three decades. Original members Jim McCarty and Rusty Day had left the group, so bass guitarist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice were joined by Werner Fritzschings on guitar, Duane Hitchings on keyboards and Peter French (ex-Leaf Hound and Atomic Rooster) on vocals. This was the band's final album before their long hiatus that lasted until 2006. The first three tracks (the first side of the original LP) were recorded live on April 3, 1972, in Puerto Rico at the Mar y Sol Pop Festival, and the rest (the second side of the LP) were recorded in studio (as reflected below the band's name on the album cover: On Stage In Puerto Rico And In The Studio). The pinnacle tracks for this album are "Bad Stuff", "Bringing Me Down", "Bedroom Mazurka", "Telling You" and a live recording of "Let Me Swim", which was a song by the original Cactus on their 1970 debut album.album r32081 Track listing Side one (live tracks) Swim (Let Me Swim) Appice, Bogert, Day, McCarty 4:42 Bad Mother Boogie (Big Mama Boogie – Part II) Appice, Bogert, French, Fritzschings, Hitchings 5:21 Our Lil Rock 'n' Roll Thing Appice, Bogert, French, Fritzschings, Hitchings 7:01 Side two 18:49 Bad Stuff 3:11 French, Johnson Bringing Me Down 5:25 Appice, Bogert, French, Fritzschings, Hitchings Bedroom Mazurka 4:38 French, Hitchings Telling You 5:09 French, Hitchings Underneath the Arches 0:26 Reg Connelly, Bud Flanagan, McCarty Personnel Cactus Carmine Appice – drums, backing vocals, percussion Tim Bogert – bass, backing vocals Werner Fritzschings – guitar Peter French – lead and backing vocals Duane Hitchings – keyboards, organ, electric and acoustic pianos Production Andree Buchler – Re-release coordinator Thierry Amsallem – Re-release coordinator Michael Delugg – Engineer Jimmy Douglass – Engineer Geoffrey Haslam – Producer, remixing, mixing Joel Kerr – Engineer Bernie Kirsh – Assistant engineer Claude Nobs – Re-release coordinator David Palmer – Engineer Buzz Richmond – Assistant engineer Jean Ristori – Mastering Tom Scott – Engineer Ray Thompson – Engineer James E.
