Warpig is a Canadian rock band who had gained a fan following in the Ontario, Canada club circuit in the 1970s and performed shows with such acts as Wishbone Ash, Savoy Brown, Manfred Mann, and Mahogany Rush.

In 1973, London Records re-released the album with two tracks re-recorded with Terry Brown, who would later produce for Rush, and with a new album cover.
