The album was Donovan's first on Polydor Records and his first since parting with producers Stock Aitken Waterman.

The style of the album marked a change of direction from his previous work.

Ten of the tracks were new recordings and were initially intended to be the album, the additions were four of his hits with Stock Aitken Waterman and two songs from the Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat cast recording, featuring Donovan.

The album itself proved to be a commercial failure, stalling at no.27 in the UK and not even being released at all in his native Australia.

[5] Donovan was subsequently dropped by Polydor Records and this would be his last studio album for 15 years.
