Of this album Coyne himself said:

I was quite ill when I made that record, as a matter of fact; I was quite mad, basically. That's why it's called Sanity Stomp. I had a nervous breakdown and, ironically, I don't want to say ironically...amazingly...I was able to carry on making records. That's a record I made when I was clinically ninety-five per cent nuts, and the themes are rather odd, but somehow it comes out as sounding all right. I'm amazed.[1]
