The title indicated Stewart's new commercial and artistic direction, referring to both his crossing over to Warner Brothers and on his departure to escape the 83 per cent top rate of income tax introduced by British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson for the jet-set lifestyle in Los Angeles (where he had applied for American citizenship at this time). The album was divided into a fast side and a slow side, apparently at the suggestion of Stewart's then-girlfriend, Swedish actress Britt Ekland.

La cara A, la llama Fast Side y son canciones más movidas, a mi juicio, sin demasiada trascendencia. La mayoría son de Rod Stewart y no, no es un gran compositor. La cara B en cambio, llamada Slow Side, son esos temas míticos compuestos por otros y dónde Rod Stewart brilla como la estrella baja bragas que es. I don't want to talk about it, This old heart of mine, Sailing... pa qué las prisas, que decimos en mi tierra.The original UK Burbank label (CBS pressings) also had a second limited edition run pressed on orange vinyl. With Atlantic Crossing, Stewart ended his association with Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and the stable of musicians who had been his core collaborators on his classic run of albums for Mercury Records, fusing soul and folk. Instead, he used a group of session musicians, including The Memphis Horns and three-quarters of Booker T. and the MG's. The album was produced by Tom Dowd, the famous engineer and producer on records by so many of Stewart's heroes during Dowd's time on staff at Atlantic Records. The only song performed from this album on The Faces' final US tour in autumn 1975 was "Three Time Loser", and the rest of the group heavily disliked Stewart's change in musical direction on this album. Following the success of the album, and his move to the U.S., Stewart announced his exit from the Faces by the end of the year.
