The album was released on July 1, 1972, by Warner Bros. Records. It is the band's first album with bassist Tiran Porter and second with drummer Michael Hossack to augment existing drummer John Hartman, putting in place their trademark twin-drummer sound. Toulouse Street is the name of a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The cover and inside centerfold photos were taken at a former brothel on Toulouse Street.
The album peaked number 21 on the US Billboard 200.[citation needed]
