Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Recorded Christmas and New Year 1983-1984 at Sunrise Studio, Kirchberg, except track A7, recorded live in Victoriaville, Quebec. The additional material of this song is the result of a malfunctioned tape-recorder which played both sides of the tape at once. Part of 'Learn To Talk' was recorded by WCBN in Québec City, and is used by courtesy of the station, with thanks.
