[1] It was released to complete their contract with EMI, who had acquired the band's back catalogue on the United Artists and Liberty labels.

The band proved them wrong by having a hit single with "Golden Brown", despite lacklustre promotion from EMI.

When required to deliver a final single, the band re-recorded the song "Strange Little Girl", which had originally been on a demo tape they had given to EMI in 1974.

All songs written by Hugh Cornwell, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Dave Greenfield, Jet Black, except where noted.

A companion VHS video was released to accompany the album, containing promo clips for several of the band's songs.
