Notes
Tracks 1 to 5: Mark Of The Mole (vinyl LP - Ralph Records - 1981).Tracks 6 to 10: Intermission (vinyl EP - Ralph Records - 1982). This was used as prelude, intermission and recessional music during the Mole Show Tour (1982-1983).
When playing the CD, there are 10 tracks in all. The tracklist on the back cover is wrong as it lists 11 tracks. On CD, tracks 5 and 6 are gathered in a one and only track which lasts 17:20. The above tracklist reflects the reality, not the wrong positions listed on the back cover.
