David Jackson, Hugh Banton, Guy Evans and Nic Potter had all been members of Van der Graaf Generator, but that band had split up in August 1972 (reformed in 1975).
In 1981 Nic Potter and Guy Evans released a sort of follow-up to this album, The Long Hello Volume Two. There also is a Long Hello Volume Three (David Jackson and Guy Evans, 1982) and Long Hello Volume Four (David Jackson, Guy Evans, and Life of Riley, 1983). The album Gentlemen Prefer Blues (Jackson, Banton, Evans, 1985) is sometimes regarded as a sort of Long Hello Volume Five.

Release history
Published by Static Music Ltd, the album was originally released in Italy (1974) on the United Artists record label. It was then released in the UK by the band themselves as a limited edition of 5,000. The back cover of the record's sleeve was stamped with an individual number, some of which are smudged and difficult to read. The musician Pietro Messina is misspelled on the cover as Piero Messina.
