Recorded shortly after the band had changed its name from Kippington Lodge, the album was released just after the ill-fated "Brinsley Schwarz Hype". It has been described as a "naïve blend of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Dylan & the Band, and Buffalo Springfield, with a heavy dose of early Yes" (Stephen Thomas Erlewine).[2]

The cover was designed by Barney Bubbles for his short-lived graphic art company "Teenburger Designs". The original vinyl album (Capitol 11869) was re-issued on CD in 1996 (Repertoire 0004421).
