Q[1]

The album was released in an attempt to cash-in on the success of Pure Pleasure, but was a commercial failiure, and failed to chart anywhere. The majority of the album was recorded in dub, and failed to emulate the style of more commercial recordings such as Oh Carolina. "Bullet-Proof Buddy", "Jump and Rock", "Man A Yard" and "We Never Danced to the Rub-a-Dub Sound" had previously been released as independent singles in 1989 by producer Don Moodie.

The album was Shaggy's final release on Greensleeves, before being signed by Virgin Records. "Lately", a cover of the Stevie Wonder original, was included as a bonus track on the CD version of the album, having been used as the theme to popular Jamaican game show Lamba between 1994 and 1995.

An alternate version of the album, entitled Original Shaggy in Dub, was independently released in 1996 by producer Don Moodie.
