Background information

The album was later released in some countries (South Korea and Thailand, where the album was not released until 1992 ). In Turkey, the album was only brought in June 1993 on the market, after the band had completed some performances in Istanbul.

The relationship between Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy was at the time of the recordings for the plate at a low point arrived, so the recordings rarely in the studio together.
