The album was recorded live in Gothenburg, Sweden on 7th September 1956 during a tour that did not involve any UK dates due to the ongoing AFM/MU dispute; it was released to capitalise on the extensive string of UK tour dates during the Spring of 1957. It also helped the Basie Band to catch up in Britain, preparing the ground for the forthcoming ‘Atomic’ recordings.
