The album features the original lineup of the band, with Mick Bolton on guitar, and consists of songs from their first two space-rock albums and cover versions of blues songs. All of the tracks are in a jam-oriented style that is very different from the aggressive, song-oriented style they would be later known for. It was the last album to feature Mick Bolton on guitar. He would be replaced with Michael Schenker.
The album was reissued on the Flying, The Early Years compilation, along with all of the band's other pre-Schenker work.
