Notes
CD booklet contains this short Steve Kilbey poem:
In the wee small hours of morning
I am the lord of little things.
Breathe through nostrils of science
mutter words of faith

If I was a sloth I'd hang in my tree
indolent and free;
I'd forget the rat-man race.
Goodbye crude whirl.
Two instrumentals that were to be included on this reissue were instead used on Gilt Trip.
First 1000 copies came with an autographed insert. Steve's 5-year-old twin daughters Electra (Elli) and Miranda (Minna) (aka The Twillies) helped decorate some of these:
