"Rough Riders" was released in 1979 and contained the singles 'Pull My Strings' and 'From 9:00 Until' and again those versions are available on this release as bonus tracks. The 'It's All The Way Live' single version is available as a bonus track on this package. The album contained the hits 'It's All The Way Live', a Top 5 R&B single, and 'Given In To Love'. "Shot Of Love" was originally released in late 1978, and charted on the Billboard album chart the following year. But the hits they did have all became funk anthems".

PREORDER Dayglow - People in Motion plus Catalog Vinyl.(It's absolutely insane that Solar never released a double-live Lakeside set.) Shot of Love was the first Lakeside release to boast one of its famous thematic covers this one depicted the funksters as Robin Hood-type archers, whereas on future covers, they'd be everything from pirates (Fantastic Voyage) to jockeys (Keep on Moving Straight Ahead) to genies (Your Wish Is My Command). A product of Ohio's rich funk scene, Lakeside was so live-oriented that it seemed to hold back a bit in the studio. Enjoyable certainly, but not outstanding. Fueling the success of this album (which first came out on Solar and was reissued on CD by The Right Stuff in 1997) was the gutsy funk smoker "It's All the Way Live," and almost as strong are the infectious title song and the classy soul ballads "Given in to Love" and "Visions of My Mind." But as much as Shot has going for it, the album on the whole isn't outstanding. In 1977, Lakeside came out with an album that didn't go very far, and it was Shot of Love that made the band well known. Shot of Love has often been called Lakeside's debut album, but in fact, it was Lakeside's second.
