It was their first LP on the Beggars Banquet offshoot, Situation Two, in the UK.

The US version included two bonus tracks, the UK single "Open Up" (previously chosen by New Musical Express as a Single of the Week[3]) and the B-side "The Rise".

The album's title track and "Only Dreaming (Wide Awake)" were issued as singles in the UK.

Nothing Wrong featured some occasional audio excerpts from Sir Laurens Van Der Post's BBC television series documentary Testament to a Bushmen (stills from which were used as the source of the album's front and back covers).

All tracks were written by Chris Reed (lyrics) and Reed/Dave Wolfenden/Leon Phillips (music), except for "Time Is Tight", written by Steve Cropper/Booker T. Jones/Donald Dunn/Al Jackson.
