According to Scott, the album was put out by New Millennium Communications (NMC).

Scott claims that New Millennium stopped paying royalties to the band but continued to sell the album.

A studio version of "The Earth Only Endures" was released on The Secret Life of the Waterboys 81-85 compilation of outtakes, live tracks and demos in 1994.

"Death Is Not the End" and "Purple Rain" make their only appearances on a Waterboys album here.

The album features several covers and interpolations of songs by other artists including "Because the Night" by Patti Smith which opens The Pan Within.
