| | Etc: Lord Of The Reedy River is Kate's first cover. It's composer, Donovan, also contributed b-vox. | |
| | Etc2: First pressing sleeves are indistinguishable from reissues, but original vinyls have "Well done JB first Dan" etched in the dead wax of side A (acknowledging engineer John Barratt), and "Thank You Donovan" etched into the dead wax on side B (a nod to Lord Of The Reedy River's composer). | |
| | Etc3: In addition to this rear sleeve, Nick Price also did the drawings on Kate's Tour Of Life program, the Never for Ever LP/CD, and the December Will Be Magic Again single. (Here are a few examples...) |
