Howzat!, Sherbet's fifth studio album, came out on Infinity in June 1976, produced by Richard Lush with the band, and it caught one of Australia's biggest pop bands at its peak. The classic lineup is the one that made them: Daryl Braithwaite singing, Tony Mitchell on bass, Garth Porter on keyboards, Alan Sandow on drums and Clive Shakespeare on guitar, though 1976 was also the year Shakespeare left and Harvey James took his place.
The title track is the reason anybody outside Australia knows the name: a tight, sly, hooky pop-rock single with Porter's keys bouncing off Braithwaite's bright vocal, a number one at home and a top 5 hit in Britain. The album held the top of the Australian chart for two weeks and was voted Most Popular Australian Album at that year's King of Pop Awards.
