Notes

Limited to 333 copies. Originally presented to Virgin Records (under the name The Flying Lizards) in 1980, who were not interested in releasing it so Cunningham took it to Arista who released it under the name The Suspicions because Cunningham and the name The Flying Lizards were still legally bound to Virgin.
