Nothing to Do with Us was the third LP record released by The Goodies.[2] All songs were written by Bill Oddie. As with their previous albums, the music was performed mainly by session musicians. For this album, The Goodies were signed to Island Records which had worldwide distribution rights except for the United States.[3]

"She Wouldn't Understand" was recorded at Morgan Studios. Other rhythm tracks were recorded at Roundhouse and all other tracks recorded at Basing Street Studios.

"Cactus In My Y-fronts" had originally been written for I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again and used in "The Goodies – Almost Live". "Elizabeth Rules UK" was released as a single.
