The songs were recorded by Mike Batt (vocals/keyboards) with session musicians Chris Spedding (guitars), Les Hurdle (bass), Clem Cattini (drums), Ray Cooper (percussion), Rex Morris (saxophone), Eddie Mordue (saxophone) and Jack Rothstein (violin).

[1] The styles included pop, rock, calypso, classical (the music of "Minuetto Allegretto" was based on Mozart's Symphony No.41) and surf rock in the style of the Beach Boys.

The songs also developed the Womble characters further, for example "Wellington Goes To Waterloo" described Wellington Womble taking a rare day off and visiting London Waterloo station for a bit of trainspotting.

This was the first album with a cover showing the full-size Womble costumes, worn by Batt and the session musicians.

Four tracks were released as singles: [3] Spike Milligan recorded a version of the title track as a single in 1976 for Reprise Records as a duet between his Goon Show characters Eccles and Bluebottle.
