The album features the original lineup of the band, with Mick Bolton on guitar, and consists of songs from their first two blues space-rock albums and cover versions of blues songs. All of the tracks are in a jam-oriented style that is very different from the aggressive, song-oriented style they would be later known for. It was the last album to feature Bolton.^[5]

The album was reissued on the Flying: The Early Years 1970–1973 compilation album of 2004, along with all the other recordings made with Bolton as the guitarist.
