Background and recording
editThe album was recorded over several months at Dennis Mann's basement Mushroom Studios Bristol in West Mall, Clifton, Bristol. This street of Georgian balconied houses is, incidentally, where some members of the band Stackridge lived during the 1970s, and is featured in their song "32 West Mall". The album cover features a surreal, somewhat psychedelic like image of a couple embracing by artist Carl Schofield. It did not chart in the UK, but sold steadily among fans in Bristol the 1970s. The LP was released as a CD in 2006.
