Recorded in Munich in less than a month, the album was overseen by rock producer and engineer Martin Birch.
The original vinyl release was a gatefold sleeve, containing a photo of the band inside, with a generic Polydor inner sleeve. Rising peaked at number 48 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. In the UK it peaked at number 11. It has been certified Gold in the UK, Japan, France, and Australia.
