Dax wrote and produced all the songs on the album as well as playing the guitar, honky-tonk piano, drums, bass, flute, keyboards, tenor saxophone, tapes, TR-808, synths, metal kalimba and providing the vocals. Additional instruments were played by David Knight on Evil-Honky Stomp and Fortune Cheats; Karl Blake, another former member of The Lemon Kittens, provided additional sounds on Ostrich. Cover artwork was again created by Holly Warburton. Warburton's artwork can be found on most of Dax's early work.

The album originally contained the song "Here Come the Harvest Buns", which had previously appeared on her debut LP Pop-Eyes. The song was removed from the track list when the album was issued on CD for the first time in 1993.
