It is the last album recorded with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who quit during the tour in November 1993. The band's classic Mk II line-up reunited for a second time (the first being 1984's Perfect Strangers). Departed vocalist Joe Lynn Turner once referred to this album as "The Cattle Grazes On", claiming that much stronger material existed for the album until he was fired from the band and Ian Gillan returned and reworked much of it. In 2006 a remastered edition of the album was released in Japan as a vinyl replica CD.
