Frontman Phil May called upon a childhood friend Wally Waller, whose band, the Fenmen, had recently split, to help record the rest of the album.

Waller and Povey were huge Beach Boys fans and between them had developed their own distinctive harmonies which when paired with May's vocals gave the Pretty Things a new dimension.

Whilst some of these arrangements were overdubbed on what had already been recorded, Dick Taylor has recalled there were a couple of sessions where the band and Tilsley's ensemble were together in the studio.

Because the songs had mostly already been written, the new members Waller and Povey weren't able to contribute much to the writing nor add their harmonies to most of the album.

It would not be until the mid to late 1990s that the Pretty Things resurrected "Growing In My Mind" for occasional airings in live shows since that was the one song Phil May admitted liking and didn't feel embarrassed by.

When the album was remastered for the Snapper CD, manager Mark St. John went back to the original three-track tapes to remix "There Will Never Be Another Day", "The Sun", "Photographer" and "My Time" as well as preceding single "Progress" minus Reg Tilsley's embellishments.

In December 2009, Wally Waller and Jon Povey released Sunstroke, a CD of rare unissued recordings from their days in the Fenmen.
