This album also featured Free guitarist Paul Kossoff ("We Got Time") and John "Rabbit" Bundrick (piano). Most of the songs were written by keyboardist/vocalist David Skinner (ex-Twice As Much), although there are a few cover versions. John Porter subsequently became the producer, Sam Mitchell played with Clancy and The Sandmen, Skinner also played with Clancy, while legendary Ace drummer Terry Stannard formed the band Kokomo.
