Notably, this album is the last Dogs D'Amour recording to feature the 'classic' line-up of Tyla, Steve James, Jo Dog and Bam, as the band would break up onstage in 1991. The album spawned three singles; "Victims of Success", "Empty World" and "Back on the Juice", all of which reached the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, the first of which was a Top 40 hit.
