Production and release

The album was produced by Adrian Bushby and band-member Peter Gofton, except "I Would Fix You" which was produced by Adrian Bushby and Peter Gofton with Andy Carpenter. Having been moved from the closed EMI subsidiary EMIdisc, the album was first released on CD and Cassette by the parent label. The album was re-released in February 2012 by Eastworld with seven bonus tracks. The artwork was designed by Nick Edwards.

Critical reception

The album received generally positive reviews from both UK weekly music newspapers. Melody Maker awarded tha album 8/10 while the NME wrote: "This is the sound of a band refusing to play the game set out for them – attractive blonde singer, chirpy attitude, ladders to the top – risking a slide down the snakes instead ... the exuberant, lip-glossed evil of ‘Punka’ has been replaced by the maturity shorthand of strings and synths, flamenco flamboyance kicking up alongside deadpan electro, Shangrai-La’s drumbeats booming next to high-kicking pastiche. It’s often audaciously bleak ... but they aren’t stupid enough to go to the other Svengali-approved extreme and dress up as tragic divas. If it’s messy, it’s because the situation described in ‘I Would Fix You’ is messy; if it’s brave, it’s never foolish."[5]
