The UK version was issued on Dawn Records, and it appeared with slightly different track listings in other countries, as many territories outside the UK had already added the group's debut single and first hit, "In the Summertime", to the running order on the first album of the band: the eponymous Mungo Jerry. All songs were written by the group's frontman Ray Dorset, apart from an extended version of the Willie Dixon blues standard "I Just Want to Make Love to You". In some other states, pressings included the Paul King song, "Black Bubonic Plague", and the album was also retitled as Memoirs of a Stockbroker, because the UK title, taken from an advertisement for contraceptives, was deemed too risqué. In more other countries the release was also called Baby Jump (Electronically Tested), with an alternate track sequence.
It peaked in the UK album charts at No. 13.
Recent reissues on CD have included bonus tracks featuring songs from the maxi-singles that did not appear on album at the time.
Ray "Bizz" Bissiker, who guested on recorder, was also the group's roadie.
The titles comes from a guarantee on a packet of Durex condoms.[2]
