There were several collaborations for this album, including Stevie Wonder, Rod Temperton, and Jeremy Lubbock. Also appearing as a guest artist on the album was Frankie Valli, who appears in the song "American Pop".

Alan Paul wrote two songs on the album, "Malaise En Malaisie" and "Code of Ethics".

This album was the first Manhattan Transfer album to be included in the Rhythm & Blues charts. The song "Spice Of Life", was a hit on both the R & B chart, reaching #32, and on the Pop chart, reaching #40. This song featured a distinctive harmonica solo of Stevie Wonder. The song was written by Rod Temperton & Derek Bramble.
