Notes

A1a is misspelled "International Fell" on the label.

On track A5a, all instances of the word "shit" have been censored from the recording.

The song "Does Anybody Love You?" does not appear on this release, though the lyrics are printed on the inner sleeve.

"With the exception of "Victory," the album was recorded at Todd's own Secret Sound Studios in New York on 16 fat tracks." B6 Recorded at Advantage Studios.

This is the original 1973 pressing, which had a sleeve with specially shaped corners, an inner sleeve with all lyrics, credits & a photo collage. It also included a postcard with a poem by the then almost unknown Patti Smith. Todd promised that anyone who would send back this postcard would get his name on the next record. He kept his promise on the back of the poster included on his 1974 album Todd.
