Production

The album was recorded during their tour of Melbourne at Armstrong Studios and at EMI Studios in Sydney. Once again, the production was handled by Ted Albert. The album combines their recent singles ("Wedding Ring", "Sad and Lonely and Blue" and "Women (Make You Feel Alright)") with nine new recordings.

Releases

It was released by Albert Productions on the Parlophone label in Australia on 24 March 1966. The album was only released in mono; no stereo mix was made. It was reissued by Albert Productions (this time on their own label) in the 1980s on LP and compact disc. Reissue label Repertoire Records later released the album in 1992 with eleven bonus tracks. These included b-sides, 1966's Easyfever E.P., album outtakes, alternate mixes from the Good Friday album and an outtake from the group's audition session at EMI Studios, London.

Reception

AllMusic wrote a positive review of the album saying "Most of this album is a respectable piece of mainstream rock & roll, inspired and full of surprises". The album did very well commercially in Australia, reaching No. 3 on the national charts.
