It was first released in the Netherlands in 1980 by Polydor,[3] and was released in the United States by Regency in 1981.[4] The album was reissued on compact disc by One Way in 2002.[4]The album, in-between rock and power pop, contained several polished soft metal ballads and was compared by some to Tom Petty's work,[5][6] while the biggest hit from the album, "Sausalito Summernight" (which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 25) has been compared to (and frequently misattributed to) the Steve Miller Band.[4] The album reached No. 68 on the US Billboard chart in 1981.[7] Four of the tracks from this album (the aforementioned "Sausalito Summernight", "Goin' Back to China" (US No. 105), "Alibi", and "Down in the Silvermine") were released as singles.[3] Worldwide sales of 350,000 units were reported for Watts in a Tank in December 1981.[8] Track listing
