Tago Mago was recorded between November 1970 and February 1971 at the Can Studio in the Schloss Nörvenich, a medieval castle near Cologne. It was the band's third album release, including the 1970 compilation album, Soundtracks, though regarded by the band as their second. Their debut album was Monster Movie (1969).

John's Children were a 1960s rock band from Leatherhead, England that briefly featured future T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan. John's Children were known for their outrageous live performances and were booted off a tour with the Who in Germany in 1967 when they upstaged the headliners. Their 1967 single "Desdemona", a Bolan composition, was banned by the BBC because of the controversial lyric, "Lift up your skirt and fly." Their US record label delayed the release of their debut album, Orgasm, for four years from its recording date due to objections from Daughters of the American Revolution.
