Though recorded in 1978, the album sat unreleased for over a year because Chiswick were in the process of changing their distribution. Guesting on the album as a backing vocalist was Noel McCalla, who had been Moon's lead singer. This line-up recorded the band's first album, Fickle Heart, which was produced by Salvoni. Both Salvoni and Netto had been in the band Moon, which issued two albums in the UK in 1975/76.
