The masters for the songs were recorded during the Meet the Simon Sisters sessions two years earlier. The album was produced by up-and-coming music producer at the time, Jo Siopis. Siopis brought a raw and uncompromising merseybeat rock style to the Simon Sisters' record, having been clearly influenced by her earlier work on the Gerry & The Pacemakers album How Do You Like It?.
