The album was recorded at RCA Australia's North Ryde facility in late 1978. The band set up in RCA's factory, mixing was done in an ABC Radio/TV van positioned in the car park, and audio was fed back to RCA's disc cutting lathe from there. It was Australia's first direct-to-disc recording of the era. The direct-to-disc method had developed internationally as a way to reduce distortion and noise from the use of a tape medium. Then came digital.
