Recorded and Mixed at Eden Studios, London, England.
Special thanks to Philip Love

All tracks arranged by Graham Parker and The Rumour
All songs written by Graham Parker.

"Between You And Me" is included in the album in its original demo form as recorded at the now-defunct Hope & Anchor recording studio. It was played on Charlie Gillett's Radio London show 'Honky Tonk' and record contract followed (July 1975).

A subsequent recording of the song did not match the feel of the original and for all these reasons - here it is!
