According to the liner notes, the album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City from December 4 until December 14, 1974. It was then mixed at Trident Studios in London from December 16 until December 24, 1974.
This poem by Sri Chinmoy, titled "Visions of the Emerald Beyond", was printed on the album cover.[6]
"No more am I the foolish customer of a dry, sterile, intellectual breeze. I shall buy only the weaving visions of the emerald Beyond. My heart-tapestry shall capture the Himalayan Smiles of my Pilot Supreme. In the burial of my sunken mind is the revival of my climbing heart. In the burial of my deceased mind is the festival of my all-embracing life."
