Notes:

This album was recorded at the Townhouse Studios, London, England, summer 1980.
The slightly unusual credits read that Colin Moulding 'sings his songs and plays his Epiphone Newport'. Dave Gregory is credited with 'the odd vox humana or two'. Andy Partridge is credited with playing 'His own voice, a guitar he thinks he owns, a synth he's not sure who owns and other noises that could have been anybody's'.
