This is the first issue of this album that gives the correct credits for "City Of Lagoons" (track 3) and "Chronoglide Skyway" (track 7), respectively to Alan Powell (track 3) and Simon House (track 7). As Ian Abrahams notes in 'Hawkwind: Sonic Assassins' these two tracks originally "had their correct composing credits transposed accidentally" (p100 of second edition, 2016). In his 'Hawkwind: Days Of The Underground' (2020), Joe Banks reasserts this (p225, note 1).
