The songwriting credit goes to Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Jim Kale and Garry Peterson, while the arrangement belongs to Fernando von Arb and Chris von Rohr.
Tony Platt, best known for his engineering work with AC/DC, co-produced it with the band and engineered, with Barry Sage assisting, and the album around it wears its AC/DC debt openly, in the songs and in the production alike. It was also the first Krokus record with Mark Kohler on rhythm guitar.
