Hintergrund

On the Third Day konnte in Großbritannien die Charts nicht erreichen, wurde allerdings in den USA auf Platz 52 gelistet.

Für das Cover des Albums wurde ursprünglich ein Foto von Jeff Lynne verwendet. Die US-Version bildete dann jedoch ein Gruppenbild des gesamten Ensembles in schwarzweiß ab: Zu sehen sind dort Mike de Albuquerque, Richard Tandy, Mik Kaminski, Jeff Lynne, Mike Edwards, Bev Bevan und Hugh McDowall.
