Ain't Nothin' To Get Excited About was released in 1997 by Procol Harum, under the pseudonym Liquorice John Death. Strictly speaking, this is not a Procol Harum album; It was recorded shortly after the band had finished working on their 1970 album Home. During these recording sessions producer Chris Thomas asked the band to play some old favourites while he set up the equipment for recording. The band enjoyed playing these older songs, so a few months later they booked a recording studio and recorded all the tracks on this album in a single night.
One Consequence of this idea was that Well I ('Count your blessings') is the only song they played that was written by the group, and the song is drummer B.J. Wilson's sole songwriting credit.
