For the only time in its history, the band was billed as "Spooky Tooth featuring Mike Harrison". The album was released following the departure of co-lead singer and principal songwriter Gary Wright. Wright had left the band following the release of Ceremony, in 1969.
"Something to Say" was co-written by Joe Cocker and would later appear on his 1972 album Joe Cocker. Grease Band members Henry McCullough, Chris Stainton and Alan Spenner joined original Spooky Tooth members Harrison, Grosvenor and Kellie to complete the album. The Grease Band members had achieved international prominence the year before, backing Joe Cocker at Woodstock The album was co-produced by Stainton and Chris Blackwell.
As one reviewer commented, "...Harrison proved more than ready to command center stage in 'Puff'. His interplay with the newly augmented band mimicked the heavy rock-soul vibe Cocker tapped on his debut.p FroThat was most obvious in a cover of The Beatles' I Am The Walrus, which provided a thrilling parallel to Cocker's shout-it-to-the-heavens take on "With A Little Helm My Friends" from the year before."[3]

FURTHER NOTE ON PACKAGING AND POSTING: I have been asked whether I would bundle albums to reduce postage costs. I use strong edge protective record mailers with bubble wrap that cost about £1.50 each package plus postage. I believe these will take up to 5 single LP's without too much strain. The only additional cost will be increased postage, which I will advise after the bidding process finishes. Thank you and good luck. **UK POSTING ONLY**
