An album was released which reflected the live stage act and enjoyed some commercial success, but circa 1973 times changed and new men arrived in the band. At an audition in the Nags Head, High Wycombe, Mark Knopfler auditioned with a red guitar, a flat hat, and joined the band. Around this time the Droop were in the middle of recording tracks in an unknown location in the U.K. These tracks were done with Mark and a new bass player—Steve Norchi, with production help from Dave Edmunds. Some of these tracks are featured on this album. Brewers Droop began as a Cajun band and progressed to what is recorded on the disc.
