Notes

• Robin Lumley (2002): "To this day I can proudly count Michael Palin and Terry Jones as god pals ! I got Mike to do the sleeve notes on "Do They Hurt ?" (which is itself a line from Holy Grail (witch sequence)... He wanted 25 pence for writing the notes... Charisma didn't pay him so he threatened to sue !!! (a joke of course)".
• "Act of Will" is sung through a vocoder. John Goodsall himself said, in a private e-mail, that there were never any written lyrics. Various attempts have been made to puzzle out what he is saying, but the words are likely similar to Masoko Tanga by The Police and are not always words.
• This album consists of outtakes from the Product sessions. Because "Noddy Goes To Sweden" was included on this album, the song "Pool Room Blues" gains the distinction of being the only non-album Brand X song.
