Charly Maucher was a co-founder of Jane, one of the most successful German heavy rock bands in the seventies. In spite of their increasing popularity, he decided to leave Jane in 1974 with Wolfgang Krantz to form the group Harlis. Their first album also became the first release on Sky. It was produced by Konrad Plank and Sky manager Gunter Korber at Conny's studio, Neunkirchen. The music was similar to Jane, but more mainstream heavy rock'n'roll and straight rock styled, with less instrumental work. Still it was better than most Jane albums released after 1974.
