The album was Meco’s final release on Casablanca Records and consists of cover versions of songs with a moon or werewolf theme there is even a nod to Emer Bernstein’s original film score on the instrumental track “The Boys” in addition Meco composed the original track “No More Mr. Nice Guy” not to be confused with the Alice Cooper song of the same name, there is even a Wolfman Jack impression on “Werewolf Serenade”.
