It was the last studio recording to feature drummer and founding member Darrell Sweet before his death in 1999. The album also features guest performances by bassist Pete Agnew's son Lee, who later replaced Sweet as the band's drummer. The album was recorded at the Parkgate studios, Catsfield in East Sussex in 1997. 11 of the 12 tracks were mixed in early 1998, with horns and guitar overdubs added. During the original recording, the Hale-Bopp comet was clearly visible.

Original versions of some tracks (as mixed in 1997), including one that didn't make the 1998 remix, were included in the Loud And Proud box set.

The character on the album artwork is known as 'Boogaloo'. The phrase comes from what the band would say when ready to go onstage – "Let's Boogaloo", a choice made in discussion with the fanclub editor who was present during the recording.
