By the time this album was recorded, John Renbourn had left the band to enroll in a music degree course and his place was taken by Mike Piggott.

The other band members were unchanged from the original Pentangle line-up: Terry Cox, Bert Jansch, Jacqui McShee and Danny Thompson.

Some sources give 1982, 1983 or 1984 (perhaps because recording began in 1983 and the 'published' and 'copyright' dates on the album are 1984, suggesting that it had been planned for an earlier release).

It was re-released in 2006 on Talking Elephant, the longest time that has ever passed for an original Pentangle album to become available on CD.

Varrick is an American label that also brought some Fairport Convention albums back into print.
