The album was recorded at Morgan and Olympic, London between March and May 1972.
Like many of Stewart`s albums from the era, Never a Dull Moment features significant musical contributions from the members of the band Faces. Other guest musicians included Ray Jackson of the band Lindisfarne on mandolin, Spike Heatley on upright bass, Gordon Huntley on steel guitar, Dick Powell on violin and Pete Sears on piano and bass.
"Mama You Been on My Mind" is a cover version of a Bob Dylan song. Stewart`s version is one of the songs featured in Nick Hornby`s book 31 Songs.
"Angel" was written by Jimi Hendrix as a tribute to his mother. Hendrix and Ronnie Wood had shared a flat in the late 1960s, and were both at a Soho club on the night he died.
Release
Never a Dull Moment was released on vinyl by Mercury Records on 21 July 1972.
On the 8-track tape and Cassette releases of the album the song "What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" was on program 2 following "Twistin` the Night Away", but it was not mentioned in the song listing.[citation needed]
