Fue una de las pocas veces que la banda incluyó invitados conocidos en un álbum: Don Preston - ex-tecladista de Frank Zappa. También participó en Eskimo. Fred Frith y Chris Cutler - de Henry Cow y Art Bears. Estaban contratados por Ralph Records en esa época, y Cutler también aparece en Eskimo.
The album features a number of guest musicians, notably drummer Chris Cutler and guitarist Fred Frith of the recently disbanded Henry Cow. The credits mention Frith as an "Extra-Hard Working Guest Musician."
The band also recruited Chris Cutler, who had worked with them on Eskimo, Fred Frith, Lene Lovich, Andy Partridge and others.
