Monte Video and the Cassettes consisted of Murray Grindlay. Murray was an ex member of another New Zealand Band, The Underdogs [1], but is better known today in New Zealand as the writer and voice of many advertising jingles (notably the Crunchie train robbery advertisement, perhaps New Zealand's longest-running and best loved television ad).
The album contains the single Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang. Other songs include "Whos calling?", "All Night Long" and "Sheba (She Sha Shoo)".
It was recorded at Auckland's Mandrill Studios, mixed in Sydney Australia and released by Mushroom Records and had the previously distributed tracks plus three others, "Hypnosis" and "You Cant Stop Me Now".
