Glass Mastered At – CDA ImPressing Solutions, USA – 3156685 Arranged By [Strings] – Robert Kirby Bass – James Eller Bass, Guitar, Vocals – Nick Lowe Drums, Vocals – Bobby Irwin Engineer – Paul Bass, Paul Cobbold Guitar – Martin Belmont Keyboards, Vocals – Paul Carrack Mixed By – Roger Bechirian Producer – Nick Lowe, Roger Bechirian Remastered By – David Glasser The track listing on the packaging of the CD is incorrect. It states two bonus tracks: Peace Love & Understanding (as track 13) and Crackin' Up (as track 14). This omits one bonus track and presents the others out of sequence. In response to a customer query in August 2017, a representative of the label reported that when the existing misprinted stock sells out, the next pressing will have updated artwork to reflect the correct track listing. All three bonus tracks were recorded live at the Agora ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio on Feb 10, 1982. These recordings were first released on Nick Lowe - My Heart Hurts and again on Nick Lowe - The Doings (The Solo Years). Barcode: 6 34457 23982 1 Personnel: Nick Lowe (vocals, bass guitar); Paul Carrack (vocals, keyboards); Bobby Irwin (vocals, drums); Martin Belmont (guitar). Audio Mixer: Roger Bechirian. Recording information: Ampro Studio London (02/10/1982); Rockfield Studios Wales (02/10/1982); The Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, Ohio (02/10/1982). Photographer: Keith Morris . Working with the same ensemble (plus an extra player here and there) who he'd take to calling Cowboy Outfit on his thusly titled subsequent album, this 1983 release is a comfortable mix of rockers, country weepers, reggae-tinged pop, and even some blue-eyed soul. Further proof (if any were needed) that Nick Lowe's natural flair for songwriting and his exemplary choice in sidemen has guaranteed that the man has never made a bad album. Even when he may be treading water or re-walking familiar paths ("Tanque-Rae"), he's doing so in crystal water or on paths with great views. The gorgeous album closer, "How Do You Talk To An Angel" foretells of the direction he'd be taking ten years later with THE IMPOSSIBLE BIRD and DIG MY MOOD.
