One track, "Italia", was composed by Beach Boy Al Jardine and produced by an uncredited Brian.[1]

In November 1967, Murry embarked on a month-long tour of Europe and the UK to promote the album.[1] He told Britain's Disc & Music Echo that "after 'Good Vibrations' Brian lost a lot of confidence. He didn't think he could ever write anything as good as that again ... With [my] LP I'm going to nudge my boys' competitive spirit."[2]

The album was reissued on CD in 2002 as a Japanese release.
