Loads of sessioners were brought in to supply the musical mechanics. Tony Ashton, for instance, "had just come from a clinic where he had been 'drying out'. He came in the studio straight from the clinic and I [i.e. Glover] said 'I want you to pretend to be drunk'. He did a very convincing job of it!" (from the CD sleeve notes). Apparently there was also some kind of promo video for the track "Love Is All".

The entire thing was also videoed, but this was apparently somewhat of a less amusing experience; or as Roger Glover put it: "if something is going to bear your name, make damn sure you do all the work" (from the CD sleeve notes to the studio recording).
