This is the band's first album, recorded when the members were still teenagers. It was re-recorded and re-released multiple times due to the band's dissatisfaction with the original production.
- The album was recorded in a single day at Sheffield's Square Dance Studios. It was produced by the band's frontman Jarvis Cocker and mixed by Ken Thomas. The original release on Fire Records was limited to 5,000 copies.
- The album was initially released on 12" vinyl and cassette. It was re-recorded and re-released in 1984, and again in 1994 with additional tracks. The 1994 reissue, which included the band's debut single "What Do You Say?", was the version that gained wider recognition.
- The original 1983 release received little attention, with many copies reportedly destroyed by the band themselves. The album's sound is characterized by a more post-punk and indie-rock sensibility, differing significantly from their later, more commercially successful work.
