The album is built upon covers, such as a psychedelic rendition of What's The Matter Baby, which had previously been recorded by both Timi Yuro and the Small Faces. Witch Doctor, written by John Mayall, was originally titled "I'm Your Witchdoctor" and opens the album. "I Happen To Love You" is a cover of the Electric Prunes. "You're Just What I Was Looking For Today" would later be covered by Status Quo. Both tracks were penned by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the latter would go on to big success during the 1970s.
Only three tracks are original composition, and all are credited to the entire band. "Square Room" is the most notable of these compositions, clocking in at almost 10 minutes.
