It is a concept album conceived as a radio interview. Three of the tracks integrate brief "interview" sections, which were staged in the studio. The title song has lyrics derived from the type of question-and-answer dialogue they had encountered while talking to the music press. This album was critically and commercially less successful than their previous album Free Hand.
In addition to the usual stereo version the album was also mixed in 4-channel quadraphonic sound in 1976. The 4-channel mix was not used until 2012 when it finally appeared on DVD with encoding in multichannel LPCM, DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound formats.[2]
