Spyglass Guest is their most commercially successful album to date, having reached number 34 in the UK Albums Chart. It was the final recording bassist Tony Reeves made with the group, leaving Greenslade shortly after the LP was completed.
As with their first two albums, Greenslade prepared for Spyglass Guest by extensively rehearsing at a church hall in Middlesex. However, whereas half of the songs on their first albums were written collaboratively, on Spyglass Guest the band members did not give any input into each other's songs, writing them individually. Dave Greenslade said he could not say why this was, since they were all getting along well with each other.
Their recording efforts were also more individualized: Dave Greenslade did not play on any of the three Dave Lawson compositions, Tony Reeves was absent from all but one of them, and Dave Lawson in turn did not play on "Spirit of the Dance". This was in part because, due to the band being worked so hard by their management, Dave Greenslade asked Dave Lawson to write a song to be used as a solo spot for himself, in order to reduce rehearsal time. Lawson came up with several pieces, with "Red Light" being selected as his solo spot, but another, "Rainbow", was also put on the album due to a shortage of material.
