Other information

On the CD version of the album, it is stated in the booklet that the beginning of "Live Wire" and the end of "Rocker" were erased from the master tape sometime before 1997 and had to be replaced with short segments from the vinyl record. This task proved difficult because the album was only offered to radio stations in the United States. A slight edit can be heard in both songs where the vinyl source switches to the remastered tapes.
