Bonus tracks on 2007 Collectors' Choice release:

it was 2007 before this album was released on a single CD in its original form, though it had long been available on To Whom It May Concern.

As well as being an excellent and well produced album, Zero is creditied (blamed?) for the introduction of 'Historical Folk Rock' as a genre, with the arrival of "Manuscript".

Three Bonus Tracks include "Stormy Night", which can also be heard on 13 Previously Unreleased Songs, and Al's version of the traditional Folk Song "Lyke Wake Dirge", recorded by Al and Mimi Farina. Plus a version of News From Spain, which features on Orange.
