Chas Chandler, Burdon's former bandmate in the Animals, produced the album. The album included a full sized booklet of ink drawings by Burdon illustrating some aspect of each song, accompanied by the song's lyrics.
It was recorded at Advision Studios, in London, England. Burdon reunited with Zoot Money to write songs for this album. His old friend Alexis Korner helped recording.
