Record label states both tracks produced by Chris Hughes & Ross Cullum. Sleeve info is more accurate.

The version of "Ideas As Opiates" is different to the recording on 'The Hurting' LP.

This release uses the "Fishing Nets" picture sleeve which was going to be the artwork for the UK "Change" single but was withdrawn.
