It was released in April 1984 and includes the singles "Restez Avec Moi" and "Marcia Baïla".

Receiving positive reviews, the album was originally released as an LP, cassette and CD in April 1984.

The artwork was designed by Les Rita Mitsouko and Atiai with photography by Bernard Pichon and Jean-Louis Sautreau.

In the interim between the début and 1986's The No Comprendo, Catherine Ringer and Fred Chichin amended their name, adding 'Les' to 'Rita Mitsouko'.

The decision was made to negate the possibility that audiences would identify the name as referring to Catherine Ringer only as opposed to a musical group.
