[edit] Miscellanea

  • Two versions exist: the "orange" commercially-available pressing of 35,000 individually numbered copies, and the "blue" pressing of 500 unnumbered copies, made available as promotional material to radio stations and music journalists. The "orange" version is still available through some internet resellers; the "blue" version is known to fetch upwards of $60 on eBay.
  • "Flashdance II" and "My Life as a Circus Clown" were demos from the Beautiful Midnight recording sessions; the latter three songs on the disc were recorded solo by Good especially for this collection in a twelve-hour studio session.
  • "Flight Recorder from Viking 7" features Holly McNarland on guest vocals. The liner notes list her as appearing "courtesy of boredom and frustration."
  • The Japanese text on the cover roughly translates to "Are you high now, crazy kids?"
