This CD version - VIRGIN CDVX2399 - 2001 REMASTERED -
All tracks written by Andy
Partridge except 2, 3, 9, 13, 14 by Colin Moulding.
Album che riesce a far breccia
negli ambienti culturali delle università americane. Produttore e
Virgin scartarono Dear God (per via del testo che secondo
Partridge avrebbe dovuto essere un chiodo ficcato nella gola della
gente) per poi inserirla nelle più recenti copie.
L'ospite alla batteria in questo album è Praire Prince.
Nonostante i burrascosi rapporti
con il produttore Todd Rundgren, Gregory
lo considera l'album più significativo del gruppo.
