The group's line up, from January that year, were Chris Bailey on bass guitar; Graham Bidstrup (aka Buzz Throckman) on drums; John Brewster on rhythm guitar and backing vocals; his brother, Rick Brewster on lead guitar; and Bernard "Doc" Neeson on lead vocals.[1]
The group had supported AC/DC in early 1976 and were signed by their producers, Vanda & Young, to Albert Productions record label.[1][2] On 1 March that year The Angels had issued their debut single, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again", which was produced by Vanda & Young.[1][3][4] The band then recorded their debut album at Albert Studio with Vanda & Young producing, again.[1][3] Six of the ten tracks were co-written by the Brewster brothers with Neeson.[5]
Ahead of the album's appearance they released their second single, "You're a Lady Now", in July 1977.[1][2] The album followed in the next month in both LP and cassette formats.[1][3][5] By the mid-1980s "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" had developed a cult status with audiences responding with "No way, get fucked, fuck off!".[6] In February 1988 the group released a live version of the single, which included this chant, and marketed T-shirts sporting the phrase.[6]
