Background and writing

According to Gordon Deppe the album "covers the time roughly between 1983 and 1985",[1] and was the band's first release of studio material since their 1988 Vertigo Tango album.

Deppe related the origin of the material: "Most of these songs were recorded after "Romantic Traffic" and "Tell No Lies", in a tiny, hidden away studio in Oakville, Ontario. We were about to embark on a whole new chapter in our musical lives that would leave these old ideas forgotten, to slowly weather over time and eventually fade into the earth."[2]

A few of these songs were played live including "In the Hands of Money" (circa 1984) which can be seen on the Spoons' DVD Spoons Live in Concert.
