The second LP by the band The Battered Ornaments, founded by Cream lyricist Pete Brown as Pete Brown And His Battered Ornaments. Following a dispute with guitarist Chris Spedding, he left the band before the album was released, prompting the band to simply rename themselves The Battered Ornaments. Under Spedding’s leadership, Brown’s vocal tracks were subsequently deleted and re-recorded by other band members. The recordings took place at EMI Studios, once again with Andrew King as producer. The finished album was finally released in November 1969 on the Harvest label.

The quintet consisted of Nisar Ahmad Khan (reeds, fl, voc), Chris Spedding (g, p, org, voc), Roger Potter (b, voc), Pete Bailey (perc, voc) and Rob Tait (dr, voc). They played progressive rock, enriched with some psychedelic and experimental elements. However, in contrast to their previous album A Meal You Can Shake Hands With In The Dark, Brown’s absence was clearly noticeable. This follow-up album proved to be a complete disaster, both critically and commercially. As both releases on EMI’s new progressive label were produced in limited runs, original British copies of both albums are extremely difficult to find nowadays.
