Notes

See the The Marty Willson-Piper Heyday Shirt photo album by Anthony Collins to see nice pictures of Marty's shirt used on the cover, and to read about it and the making of the Heyday album cover.

Reportedly a bootleg version may exist from somewhere in southeast Asia that claims to have 2 bonus unreleased instrumental tracks. These tracks are not by The Church.
