Notes

On this album The Mambas were:
Annie Hogan, Steve Sherlock and Lee Jenkinson

Gini Ball (credited on the sleeve as Gini Hewes), Annie Stephenson. Martin McGarrick and Billy McGee are collectively credited as The Venomettes. Foetus is credited as Foetus And The Transvestites From Hell.

2-4 to 2-6 are listed together as "Medley" and the other titles aren't given, but it is 3 separate tracks on the CD. 2-8 lyrics from both "Carmen Jones" and Bizet's "Carmen". 2-11 to 2-13 are bonus tracks (but aren't listed as such) not on prior UK CDs, but they were on the prior Japanese reissue.

Uncredited on the release but note in Marc's autobiography 'Tainted Life' (p. 205) proves that Robert Smith with Steven Severin wrote the music for the track "Torment" (2-5).

"You'll Never See Me..." is misspelled "You Never See Me..." & "A Million Manias" as "A Milion Manias".

Made in the UK; in a matte tri-fold double Digipak (no booklet).
