Riding on their string of successful singles, Lewis and producer Snuff Garrett went back into the studio to record the band's third album. The single from the album "Everybody Loves a Clown" was released in August, the same month as their previous album A Session with Gary Lewis and the Playboys. The new album was released three months later in November 1965. The album followed their usual formula of a couple of original compositions along with covers of recent hits by artists such as the Fleetwoods, Manfred Mann, Everly Brothers and Johnny Burnette. Their single from their next album "She's Just My Style" was released in the same month as this album.
These were the Playboys at the time of the recording, although session musicians were used for sweetening.
