Notes

The cover photos (which continue on to the back cover) are actually composite, multiple-image works by photographer John Halpern (info). Each band member appears twice in their respective photo bar: once in a close-up portrait, and again somewhere in the background (Peter on the observatory balcony on the left, Steve in the distance to the right, Richard on the beach on the back cover, and Marty also on the back cover in an upstairs window), which are more visible on an LP cover.

Some promo copies of the Arista Records LP version included a Gold Afternoon Fix Press Release.
