Notes

Released with printed inner sleeves, which list detailed credits for each track and the complete lyrics for some tracks.

The credit section on the printed inner sleeves has a few mistakes:
– on B4, it shows "H. Jones" instead of "N. Jones" as writer
– on C4 the writing credits erroneously credit "Gerald Masser" as co-writer of the sample, while the actual writer is "Gerald Goffin"
