The album was recorded by Team Dokus in 1971 for the Sphere record label,a subsidiary of CBS.
Essentially a concept album based on the theme of nuclear destruction it relates the tale of World War 3 and life after a nuclear holocaust.The music is lightish progressive rock with the opener,Fifty Million Megaton Sunset,the highlight musically and lyrically.This cut had previously been included on Psychedelic Salvage Co. Vol.2 (LP & CD) and both Psychedelia,Vol.3 (LP) and Hen's Teeth,Vol.3 (CD) include the un-abbreviated version.Side one closes with another gem,the doom-laden,gently flowing and melancholic On The Way Down.Side two opens with Visions a pretty standard progressive rock offering, but Tomorrow May Not Come,which had previously got an airing on Psychedelic Salvage Co.Vol. 1 (LP & CD),has some good extended instrumental pieces and Big Red Beast featured some promising guitar and vocals, but the other real gem was Feel Your Fire, a very effective blend of vocals,catchy drumming, guitar and keyboards which previews the finale,a reprise of Fifty Million Megaton Sunset.
