The band, along with their families, went to Barbados to record the album. It was recorded in the studio at Eddy Grant's house, where they bumped into Mick Jagger on a few occasions, who was staying nearby. The trip did not go as planned; although the band were sent there so that Shaun Ryder and his brother would not take heroin, they ended up taking crack cocaine. Shaun Ryder did bring enough methadone to last him for four weeks, but inadvertently smashed the case at Manchester Airport. After running out of money, they then took extreme measures such as selling the furniture from Grant's studio (to fund the d****) and creating "crack dens" out of sun-loungers in Eddy's own swimming pool. Bez ended up breaking his arm after overturning a hire car, while Shaun had failed to write any lyrics.

When the band returned to the UK, Shaun got hold of the master tapes for the album, threatening to destroy them if Tony Wilson and Factory Records did not pay him for them. When Factory did finally get hold of them (for £50), the recordings contained no vocals (since Shaun failed to write any lyrics while in Barbados), which meant the whole exercise was a waste of time and money for Factory. Shortly after the album was finally released, Factory Records was officially declared bankrupt.

On a more humorous, but bizarre note, Shaun attempted to "kidnap legendary guitarist Johnny Marr to join them on their excursion to Barbados." Marr says he was a member of Happy Mondays for "about 25 minutes".
