The album features the then-new line-up of 10cc after the departure of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in 1976. The trio of Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman and Paul Burgess who recorded the most recent 10cc album, Deceptive Bends, that was issued earlier that year, were joined by Rick Fenn, Stuart Tosh and Tony O'Malley. Tony O'Malley was also assigned with lead vocals on "Art for Art's Sake".
As the tour promoted Deceptive Bends, the live album features all but one track from it - "I Bought a Flat Guitar Tutor". The rest of the set list relied mostly on Stewart/Gouldman compositions.
The album was a hit, reaching Top 10 in Norway and Sweden and No. 14 in the UK charts and later receiving a Gold certification.[2][3] The song "The Wall Street Shuffle" backed with "You've Got a Cold" was issued as a single in America, but failed to reach the charts.[4] "I'm Mandy Fly Me" was issued as a single in Australia.[5]
All tracks composed by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, except where indicated.
