Released in October 1974 on the Mushroom Records label, the album achieved relatively little success until early 1975.

[4] The album was produced by former Daddy Cool lead singer Ross Wilson.

"[5] The artwork (external front and back, and internal gatefold) was painted by Niels Hutchison.

Two singles were lifted from the album: "Livin' in the 70's", which was released with a non-LP track, "You're a Broken Gin Bottle, Baby", included as track 11 on the 2004 CD remaster; and "Horror Movie"/"Carlton (Lygon Street Limbo)".

Six tracks from the album were banned on commercial radio in Australia; in defiance of this, however, the ABC's new youth station in Sydney, 2JJ, played the track "You Just Like Me 'Cos I'm Good in Bed" as its first ever song when it began broadcasting in January 1975.
