Go Nutz, recorded in the United States, was supposed to follow up on the American success of the single "Saturday Night" (from Shpritsz) and a compilation called Herman Brood & His Wild Romance, made specifically for the American market. The Dutch market was ripe for another Brood album, since the single "Never be Clever" had reached #10 in the Dutch singles chart on 16 June 1979.[3] However, the recording sessions were a disaster; the American producers replaced the rest of the band with session musicians, resulting in a disappointing album[4] and the disbanding of the hitherto successful quartet of Brood, Lademacher, Cavalli, and Meerman.[5] The album produced three charting singles in the Netherlands, but failed to chart in the US.
"Love You Like I Love Myself" was released as a single (with "Hit" on the B-side) in 1979; it peaked at #12 in the Dutch Top 50 on 17 November 1979, and was on the charts for seven weeks.[6] "Hot Shot" reached # in the Dutch Top 50 on 16 February 1980, and was on the charts for seven weeks.[7] "I Don't Need You" reached #29 in the Dutch Top 50 on 10 and 17 May 1980, and was on the charts for four weeks.[8]
