The album was released in August 1982. Opening track Electricland, written by Rodgers, was the album's biggest hit, while Painted Face= also received substantial airplay on rock stations. The album became the original line-up's worst-selling album, reaching a disappointing #26 on the US Billboard album charts and peaking at #15 in the UK.
Rough Diamonds was the last album by Bad Company's original line-up. The sessions were rough going from the beginning. First, their manager, Peter Grant, withdrew from view after the death of Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham in 1980. Then, on another occasion, a fistfight broke out between Paul Rodgers and Boz Burrell, the two bandmates had to be restrained by Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke. The band split shortly after the album's release.
