About
National Health reconvened to record this album as a tribute to the late Alan Gowen in 1981. The album features mainly previously unrecorded material written by Gowen with the exception of two Gilgamesh tracks; 'Arriving Twice' and 'T.N.T.F.X'. There are guest appearances from Elton Dean and Richard Sinclair in addition to the National Health core of Dave Stewart, Pip Pyle, Phil Miller and John Greaves. Gowen had returned to National Health following Stewart's departure but the only recording of that line-up can be found on the live album, 'Play Time'.
