From the Sleeve notes :
The Varaflames is the name i use when putting a band together. This happens spasmodically and the line-up varies. The
Varaflames team of Rod Clements,Fraser Spiers and Pick Withers started this album nack in May 1995.These sessions were assisted by Glasgow District Council. The tapes lay in the studio untouched for five years until March 2000, then we called in some others to assist on finishing the record. Rab Noakes..
