The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1970 by multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood and drummer Bev Bevan. Their music is characterised by a fusion of pop and classical arrangements with futuristic iconography. After Wood's departure in 1972, Lynne became the band's sole leader, arranging and producing every album while writing nearly all of their original material. During their first run from 1970 to 1986, Lynne and Bevan were the group's only consistent members.

На обратной стороне обложки представлено письмо лидера группы Джеффа Линна, в котором он пишет, что песни альбома охватывают период с 1973 по 1978 гг.:

"Эта пластинка - как музыкальный дневник для меня, несет множество интересных воспоминаний. В ранних песнях, типа Showdown или Ma-Ma-Ma Belle ('73) мы еще только пытались найти свой музыкальный путь, но я могу слушать их до сих пор и улыбаться, вспоминая, какими значительными они казались нам тогда, хотя на некоторых концертах в то время нас было больше, чем публики в зале!"
