Three Dog Night's original recordings were released by ABC Dunhill Records, except for 1983's It's a Jungle, which was released by Passport. In the mid-1970s, executives at ABC Dunhill discarded their multi-track recordings and mono masters to save storage space in a cost-cutting measure.[1] As a result, all re-issues on CD were remastered using album masters.
The group scored 11 top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including three that hit number one: Joy to the World, Mama Told Me Not to Come and Black and White. Joy to the World was the top song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1971. Seven of the group's albums were certified gold by the RIAA and their first LP, Three Dog Night, was certified platinum.
