Sold on the idea of such an unusual concept, Black agreed to go ahead with the album that featured primarily songs co-written by Play School TV presenter Don Spencer. The recording sessions were held at AIR Studios in London and although produced by Ron Edwards were supervised by Black's former producer George Martin.
The project was independently produced by the music company MCA/Gilbey and released by Virgin in Australia, which produced the album's packaging from recycled paper.
In 1993, the album was given a release in Great Britain by Silva Screen Records.
