The song was originally recorded during the ill-fated sessions held at Olympic Studios in London, with engineer-producer Glyn Johns, in mid-1967. Since they took place in the period between the departure of original drummer Snowy Fleet and the recruitment of his eventual successor, Tony Cahill, the group hired drummer Freddie Smith (who had previously worked with George Young's brother Alex in the group The Big Six) for these sessions, which also prominently feature the contributions of renowned keyboardist Nicky Hopkins on piano, harpsichord and Mellotron. The song was originally intended for the group's next album, but although a full LP (to be titled Good Times) was recorded, sequenced and mastered, and a cover prepared, contractual problems that emerged soon after the sessions (and a financial dispute with Olympic over unpaid studio fees) ultimately led to the entire album being scrapped. Some tracks from these sessions, including "Land of Make Believe", were subsequently released as singles and/or were included on their 1968 album Vigil, but a number of others remained unreleased until the issue of the Raven Records (Australia) rarities compilation LP The Shame Just Drained in 1982.
In late 1981, Andy Hill, along with former King Crimson member Peter Sinfield, wrote the fourth Bucks Fizz single. Titled "The Land of Make Believe", the song was produced by Hill and featured a strong melody. Released in November, it hit the charts and by Christmas was in the top five. In January 1982, it overtook The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" to reach No.1. It stayed there for two weeks and remained in the UK charts for 16 weeks, becoming the group's best-selling single and one of the top-selling singles of the decade. It also reached No.1 in the Netherlands and Ireland and became the group's best-selling single in Germany. The song has since been hailed as a 1980s classic and is regarded as the group's best song by some critics.Smash Hits, December 1986 ("Keep Each Other Warm" review)Q Magazine, October 2000, (Are You Ready re-issue review)Q Magazine, April 2001 Early in 1982, the group were awarded 'best group' at the Daily Mirror Rock and Pop awards ceremony and received a nomination at the Brit awards.
