The album cover photo was shot near the entrance of a rock'n'roll club called The Central, located at 8852 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Today it is the site of The Viper Room, where actor River Phoenix died from a drug overdose on 31 October 1993.

All songs written and composed by Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker except where noted.
