When the album was recorded, their previous label Polydor Records was rejected this album to be released, due to changing trends in music at the time. In a money saving move, the label opted to focus on more commercially successful artists.[2] Papillon Records agreed to release the album,[3] though the planned single release of "I've Got A Feeling" was recalled in the UK due to sample clearance issues. "See-Saw" was later released as a limited run 12" single.[4] Despite favorable reviews, the album was released with little to no promotion, and has become a collectible item.
