Its instrumentation was worked out and rehearsed in Budapest, the album was recorded at MHV Studios also in the Hungarian capital, whereas the running order was put together by the band at a restaurant on Oxford Street, London.

Because of the longer instrumental sections, the album opener "Cirkusz", "Kotta nélkül", and "Azt hittem" can be labelled as progressive rock.

It has a lot in common with the songs "Arra mennék én" and "Ahogy mindenki" on the albums Mindig magasabbra and Locomotiv GT V., respectively.

The country-spoof "Kakukkos karóra" is an interesting and unusual recording; it is all-acoustic (with the addition of a banjo), and disguised, with clapping, as a spontaneous live performance.

Also in 1973, Ringasd el magad was issued in Czechoslovakia by Supraphon, CS Hifi Klub and the Hungarian MHV Pepita label.
