Background
The album was recorded very shortly after the Slippery When Wet Tour, because the band wanted to prove that they were not just a one hit wonder. The album was initially meant to be a double album; however, this idea was rejected by the record company because they got nervous about the higher price point and decided they would only release a single album. One working title for the album was Sons of Beaches, which parodied the title of their previous album Slippery When Wet.
