The album was recorded by Steve Forward at Redan Recorders in London, England; with Jan Groth and Ray Nenow producing. Mixed by Johnny Shines at Redan Recorders.

On the track featured on the flip-side Jan Groth is backed by a British session band consisting of Norman Barratt on guitar (of Gravy Train and Barratt Band fame) and a rhythm section consisting of Dave Markee and Henry Spinetti on bass and drums respectively (known as the rhythm section of Eric Clapton Band ca 1980).
