David A. Stewart's label Anxious Records signed Chris Braide in London, United Kingdom, It was Braide’s second solo album.

On the liner notes of the reissued limited edition vinyl David A. Stewarts writes: "I met Chris Braide in London when he was only 24 years old, yet he was so mature as a songwriter and a consummate musician. Chris could sing and play any of his songs effortlessly on piano or guitar and he and I spent many days and weeks at Church Studios experimenting amongst the vortex of creative chaos that tends to surround me and I could see that Chris was soaking up everything and enjoying being amongst lots of other crazy artists. Chris could sing like a bird and he also could attract a lot of birds too! He had the whole package………..amazing musician, great songwriter, fantastic voice and if that wasn’t enough he looked like a young Marc Bolan! So after a while I marched him off to Greenwich village in NYC where I bought him a silver glitter guitar and we spent time in the Jimi Hendrix Studio Electric Lady where in the early hours of the morning we staggered out with a great album. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it!" Dave Stewart, Los Angeles, 2012
