[1] The Fairbrass brothers formed the group in 1989, with Richard on lead vocals and bass and Fred on guitar.

[1] The group was named after the novelty song "Right Said Fred", which was a hit single for singer and actor Bernard Cribbins in 1962.

The Fairbrass brothers have stated that the song's lyrics are centred on certain users of the gym they owned in London, who they claimed had no shame.

[3] The song was a considerable hit in the United Kingdom, spending six weeks at number two in the charts behind Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", and three months in the Top 10.

[5] "I'm Too Sexy" has subsequently been used in over 40 television shows and movies, including My Wife and Kids, The Simpsons, The West Wing, and EastEnders.

[6] Their second single, "Don't Talk Just Kiss", with background vocals by soul singer Jocelyn Brown, was released in October 1991.

In 1992, Heavenly Records released an EP that featured the label's acts covering Right Said Fred songs for charity.

The Fred EP contains Saint Etienne (performing "I'm Too Sexy"), The Rockingbirds ("Deeply Dippy") and Flowered Up ("Don't Talk Just Kiss").

[9] Early in 1993 Fred, Richard and Rob wrote and recorded the Comic Relief single "Stick It Out", which was a top-five hit in the United Kingdom and in many European countries.

The album was produced by Ward, and for the United States release, Right Said Fred worked with David Levine at Promark Music.
