Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

“Compliments Of A Friend” reportedly refers to George Benson, who presumably could not be credited for contractual reasons.
Tracks also known as “High On You” (A1), “Apex” (B1), “Impressions” or “Flavors” (B2), “Good Morning” (B3).
Track A1 of this first pressing differs from the repress (opens in a new tab).
