  • Despite what it says, the track time indicates that this is definitely not the LP version. I believe it is one of the M.K. mixes.
  • The CD version has more tracks than the vinyl.
  
  

NOTE: There is a track called 'Ravers Emotion' credited to Happyhead on a 1997 compilation CD called 'Independence Rave - Invasion Of Earth'. This is emphatically NOT the same band. David Barratt's comment: "Call the lawyers!!!!!! Never heard of the label, compilation or even 1997."
