"She Had You" was a hit in the Philippines, and was played on FM radio in an NU 107 midnight countdown.

"Lights Are Changing", "She Had You", "Supergun" and "Down Along the Lea" were all written by Nick Saloman of British band The Bevis Frond.

Saloman is one of several guitarists playing on this album and a creative collaborator as well; he and Lord also co-wrote "His Lamest Flame", "Two Boats" and "Subway".

[2][3] "Shake Sugaree" is a folk/blues song written by Elizabeth Cotten, appearing on her 1967 album of the same name.

Following five years of independent-label singles and EPs and a self-released cassette, Lord's long-awaited debut album received positive reviews and critical acclaim in Rolling Stone, Spin and other music publications, and from Robert Christgau in his Consumer Guide column in The Village Voice.
