In the early 1970s, the group saw the songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman on TV. They brought them to Europe and introduced it to the record boss Mickie Most ago, which required the band instantly for his label RAK Records.

Their first release Rosegarden landed in 1971! Number 15 in the UK. Ironically, a version of this song was released at the same time with the country singer Lynn Anderson - and landed at number 1 of many international charts.

The biggest hit of New World should then Tom Tom Turnaround are in the same year that brought it to number 6 in the UK and # 10 in Germany.
