Band member Joe Camilleri later reflected saying "The first Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons album was a heart-breaking experience. We had so much energy live, but I didn’t know how to capture that in the studio."{{cite web |url=http://www.theblacksorrows.com.au/biography/|title=biography|publisher=The Black Sorrows|accessdate=24 October 2017}}
