This LP was a focal point of a large promotional campaign to reacquaint the US public with the Kinks, who would be returning to the US on tour for the first time since 1965. Copies were sent to radio stations and reviewers, as well as being offered for sale directly to the public via advertisements in various national music magazines.

Tracks A1, B1 to B4, B6, and B7 are abridged edits of the original recordings.

The Track A1 medley was edited by Reprise Records, May-June 1969.
