The band features Allen's former Soft Machine bandmate Robert Wyatt on drums, Gary Wright from Spooky Tooth, Maggie Bell from Stone the Crows, as well as Christian Tritsch and Pip Pyle from Gong. Some of the musicians on this album would subsequently contribute to Kevin Ayers' 1975 album Bananamour.
The track "Memories" was later covered by Material on their 1982 album One Down with a lead vocal by Whitney Houston. "Stoned Innocent Frankenstein" was re-recorded in 1978 by Allen in collaboration with Here and Now as Planet Gong on their Floating Anarchy Live 1977 album.
Initial pressings were credited to Gong and featured a Phil Franks photograph of Allen, Legget and Wyatt on a green cover.
