The album marks the first UK release of the group's influential "The Train Kept A-Rollin'" and the first album appearance of the instrumental "Steeled Blues". Demos for four songs later recorded for the group's post-Gomelsky album, Yardbirds (also known as Over Under Sideways Down and Roger the Engineer), are also included.
Shapes of Things is also the title of a comprehensive seven-LP collection of Gomelsky-produced material released in 1984, also by Charly Records.
