Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

"Thanks hugely to Lia Vollack and Scott Pascucci. This CD also could not have happened without Richard Golub and Nehemiah Glanc: I thank them both most sincerely. Ivan Julian helped way beyond the call of duty. Thank you, Ivan. Jack Riviera and Nick Lowe were very generous: thanks. Thurston Moore, Steve Shelley and Don Fleming came through, as they will. Thanks, to them."
In memoriam Robert Quine
