The recording comprised original band members Phil Weaver (vocals, 12 string acoustic guitar, six string electric guitar), Will Wright (descant and tenor recorders, Hammond C3 organ, electric piano, synthesiser), Paul Cheshire (lead guitar, vocals) and Helen Hardy (vocals).

The rhythm section used for this recording was John MacKenzie, one of the UK's top session bassists who had become a good friend of band members Hardy and Wright (as well as having worked with producer Pete Brown many times) and Bob Jenkins (also a top UK drummer) who was a friend of Hardy's as well as a regular session partner of MacKenzie's.

The rhythm tracks were recorded in Stoke-on-Trent, with over-dubs at Pete Kerr's studio in east London and mixed in Stoke by Pete Kerr, Pete Brown and Will Wright.

The album was released in August 2010 by Angel Air Records.
