Recording info:
Recorded mid 1985.
Notes:
Tracks 12 & 16 come from the Cruiser's Creek single (track 16 is an edited version from the 6:11 single); tracks 13-15 come from the Couldn't Get Ahead/Rollin' Dany double A-sided single. The album title appears on the LP in green lettering spread over both sides of the gatefold sleeve; on the CD the lettering is red and the title is completely on the front cover (see image gallery). The CD was re-pressed in 1988 and 1997 as a budget price release with a different catalogue number (BBL67CD), but the tracklisting and artwork otherwise remained the same as the original CD.
