The title song of their forthcoming album of the same name was the first single with Helmig van der Vegt on keyboards replacing Herman Brood. To this day guitarist Eelco Gelling claims this was "the beginning of the end" as the band with out of balance with three virtuoso instrumentalists from Blues Dimension in the band."Appleknockers Flophouse" is a slowed-down heavy rewrite of the band's first single "Stumble and fall" down to the key (C) and most of the chord changes. The B-side is an instrumental 12-bar, judging from the title recorded because singer Harry Muskee was too ill to record.
The sleeve was a portrait of Helmig pasted onto a publicity picture that originally had Herman Brood sitting down in the bottom. During this period Harry Muskee took to dyeing his hair black.
