The EP consists of upbeat tracks with a rock and roll, jazz and swing feel. It is the first release by the band to feature drummer Terry Williams, who filled the spot after drummer Pick Withers left the group in 1982.
This EP has never been released on compact disc except for a very rare CD-Video. However, "Twisting by the Pool" appears on the compilations Money for Nothing and Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, and a live version of "Two Young Lovers" is featured on Alchemy: Dire Straits Live.
All songs were written by Mark Knopfler.
The original vinyl EP presented tracks 1–2 on side A, and tracks 3–4 on side B.
