1. "Fever Of Love" - different intro.
2. "Lost Angels"
3. "Midnight To Daylight"
4. "Laura Lee"
5. "Windy City"
6. "Stairway To The Stars" - additional track.
7. "Live For Today" - clean version.
8. "Funk It Up (David's Song) - same as RCA version.
9. "Hard Times"
10. "She Gimme Lovin'"

'Stairway To The Stars' was withheld from the RCA album release and later issued as a single after 2 other ones - 'Lost Angels' and 'Fever Of Love'. All three singles proved to be commercial flops (except in Germany, where they broke Top 20). Later the band was to return to the limelight in 1978 with 'Love Is Like Oxygen'.
