Notable tracks from this album are the title song, "Once Upon A Time", which harks back to the group's hit "Every Man Must Have A Dream", and "Sailin' Down to Rio", the band's ode to Rio de Janeiro, a city they fell in love with during their tour of Brazil in the late 1970s.

A new version of "John George Ringo & Paul" was included on this album. The song was first heard on The Best of Liverpool Express the year before.
