Reprise issued the album to capitalise on the nation-wide publicity generated by the band's February 1965 appearance on the musical variety programme Hullabaloo.[9] The album had no direct analogue outside of the US market, but instead collected songs from the UK EP Kinksize Session, two songs which had been left off of the US version of the band's debut LP and both the A- and B-sides of the "All Day and All of the Night" and "Tired of Waiting for You" singles.[6] All of its songs were recorded at Pye Studios in London, between August and December 1964, though Dave Davies also overdubbed an electric guitar contribution to "Tired of Waiting for You" at IBC Studios in London.[10]
