Review

This album was recorded in London and Bath, England, and close to Avalon, the mythic kingdom of King Arthur. It marked the first appearance of Georgie Fame, who played the Hammond organ and would also provide backup vocals and help direct the band.

Morrison and Fame would work together for most of the nineties. The all new songs were rehearsed in two days and then recorded in another two days. Arty McGlynn (the guitarist) remarked about the band's feelings when the sessions ended "we still don't know if it's an album, or maybe a demo for an album." Morrison's reliance on spontaneity was evident on "Daring Night" where he left in his change of tempo call to Roy ones near the song's ending ("one-four, one-four"). The album was previewed at a private concert at Ronnie Scott's club, London on May 24, 1989.
