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 and in Canada's RPM magazine. In Canada they had 15 in the Top 10. Seven of the group's albums were certified gold by the RIAA and their debut studio album, Three Dog Night (1968), was certified platinum.
