Personnel

Notes

Only the title track on this EP is new. The rest are older tunes that were recorded live at the Boardwalk in Sheffield, England in 2000. The liner notes by Simon "Eddie" Baker say that the live tracks were not planned to be recorded, but Ed's older half-brother and recording wiz John Bennett appeared unexpectedly on the night of the gig with his recording equipment.

Trivia

A Pyramidion is the uppermost piece of an Egyptian pyramid.
