It was originally released on vinyl and cassette. It was very briefly available on CD in the late 80s, through a licensing deal with budget label Rainbow. It has never been re-released, although some tracks were included on the 2004 Redgum collection Against the Grain.
The band at this time was a part-time group and far less polished than they later became, they were still taking form. The songs address topical issues, such as unemployment, US influence, the effects of white settlement on Australia's aboriginal population, and more.[2]

gollark: Just use full block modems to attach more modems to your computer; why use a bunch of computers for modem monitoring?
gollark: ¿¿¿
gollark: Just having an adapter block doesn't allow it to magically do anything. People need to explicitly program in mod integration.
gollark: With Plethora, an addon, yes.
gollark: That doesn't seem particularly hacky. The whole pattern of "start timers for timeouts/running stuff at intervals, listen for other events at the same time" is rather common in CC code.
