Their third and final album on Platina, it was issued only four months after their second studio album ''Tages 2''.

The album was recorded during a period in which Tages underwent several lineup changes. It's their first effort not to feature drummer Freddie Skantze, who left following the recording of ''Tages 2,'' and is the second and final album with drummer and vocalist Tommy Tausis, who'd played on several tracks on ''Tages 2''.
