The album cover was designed by Ian Logan Associates with photographs by Keith Morris, and the original LP sleeve notes were by Rod McShane.

When it was finally released on Island's budget label HELP in 1976, one track ("All of a Row") was deemed unfit for inclusion as the band were not particularly happy with it and anyway, Martin Carthy had by then re-recorded it in a different arrangement for his album Sweet Wivelsfield.

As the original band could not be re-convened, John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris quickly recorded a new track, "Reaphook and Sickle", to fill the vacant slot on the album.

They were assisted by Dave Mattacks on percussion and also hammered dulcimer tuning, according to John Kirkpatrick!
