The album opens with a ten-minute three part composition "The Ritual" reminiscent of the 10cc songs "Une Nuit a Paris" and "Feel the Benefit". The vocal effects on "The Ritual" were created by the first AMS delay line, a repeat echo unit that revolutionised "Double Track" Vocals in the 1970s and the chorusing/flanging was achieved by modulating the effect of the repeated vocal ever so slightly so that it moves around the stereo.[2] The ballad "Make the Pieces Fit" was originally written for 10cc album Look Hear?[3] and was also featured on Stewart's previous album, "Girls". "Doris the Florist" is another ballad in the classic 10cc style. The rest of the album is Eric Stewart's homage to the classic rock'n'roll of the 60's thus the album's name.[3]
Frooty Rooties was recorded mostly by Eric Stewart and Paul Burgess and features several additional contributions from then 10cc lineup musicians.
