for some reason it seems that Summer of 71 is when the girls ran into headwinds. there was a lack of tv appearances, the Touch album and single bombed. Return of Mag 7 bombed.

And some irony there since they did that wonderful Central Park show in summer 71

As i've said a zillion times, the duets hampered them to some degree. But clearly something else was happening. it had been a year and a half since the lineup change. their new image at first of being these beautiful girls singing about peace and love had maybe run it's course. the public was ready for something new perhaps.
