It includes "Tiny Goddess," "Trapeze," and "Frankie the Great". The album's most well-known song, "Rainbow Chaser," leads off, with its prominent phasing effects; "Tiny Goddess," a ballad, comes next. "Rainbow Chaser" was a #1 single in Denmark in April 1969, where it stayed in the top 10 for a month. "Rainbow Chaser" was to be their only UK top 40 hit.

The cover shot is a monochrome reproduction of Les Conquérants (The Conquerors) painted in 1892 by Pierre Fritel,[2] and depicts some of world history's most famous figures leading a procession through a mass of dead bodies.
