Two singles were released from the album: "Sinful Wishes" and "S.O.L.", the latter a collaboration with Crash Morgan (who died in 1995 after suffering a heart attack on stage whilst performing with the Canadian rock band Big Sugar).[1]

"Moonage Daydream" was originally recorded by David Bowie, for his album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

"Move to Move (Revisited)" is an updated version of "Move to Move" from Kon Kan's first album, Move to Move.

"January Man" features the Coney Hatch guitarist Carl Dixon on mandolin.

Barry Harris and the drummer Anton Cook later reunited in the band Sick Seconds in 2011. They released their first album, Sick Seconds, in March 2013.
