Here at the Mayflower was Manilow's first to include all original material since 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe in 1984. His next album of original songs, 15 Minutes, would not be released until 2011. It was also his first album with new label Concord Records. Manilow left Arista Records after a span of over 20 years there (with the exception of two years at the RCA label between 1985-1986).

Two singles, "Turn the Radio Up" and "They Dance!", reached the top 30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.

gollark: Which one's that?
gollark: It is several months old (I think) and not made to annoy anyone.
gollark: I mean, maybe ~50 blocks?
gollark: It wasn't very close when it was actually claimed.
gollark: Deliberately put near there (it should contain a hole and some fake lava) mostly because I was bored and ended up digging a hole for some reason, but pretty far from any actual claim.
