The bulk of recording was completed at Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands, again with Roy Thomas Baker in the producer's chair.

The song "This Girl" was only on the UK CD version, but was also released as the B-side of the "Secret Garden" single, and on the albums Heart and Soul – The Very Best of T'Pau and The Greatest Hits.

The artwork for the release includes the word "rage" rearranged to form a face (similar to the Moai stone heads found on Easter Island).

The Canadian release came out almost a year later than the UK version with four songs noticeably remixed: "Arms of Love", "Only the Lonely", "Running Away", and "Island".

The artwork is also totally different on the Canadian album with a solo photograph of lead singer Carol Decker and block lettering on the front.

In positive review of 12 August 1989 Rob Garner of RPM pointed that "remarkably bland input of the band does nothing more than provide a background for Carol Decker's elastic vocals.
