Misc

Dr. Chang's Tummy Rub was originally titled 'Changer'. The name change is dedicated to one of cEvin's pet cats, Chang (1996-2002).

Extract From Empathy #2 and Extract From Empathy #3 are more fragments taken from 'The Empathy Session', previous fragments can be found on The Last Man To Fly LP and Sheila Liked The Rodeo EP.

The Bomb Bomb Loopapa Tribe Drown Themselves In A Vat Of Marmite had the word 'Drown' mislabelled as 'Down' on the initial pressings of the album. The title of this track is related to The Legendary Pink Dot's song The Bomb Bomb Loopapa Tribe Go To Swansea And Eat It.
