Please refer to original artwork for these. 4) Album was reissued as a CD with added bonus track “Just You” and is available online in this configuration on Mr. O'Day's own website at www.alanoday.com, also in personalized form. 5) According to web sources a CD reissue with same bonus track addition was also released in Japan on Victor VICP 70137.
