The album is half instrumental and was mostly co-written by then 10cc keyboardist Duncan Mackay. It also features contributions from all of the other then 10cc members.

An alternate version of the song "Make the Pieces Fit" was included on the Stewart's next solo album Frooty Rooties.

"Girls" and "Warm, Warm, Warm" were released as singles. Neither the album nor the singles managed to chart in the UK, however the album charted in Norway.
