Notes

• The front cover illustration and package design was done by Perrysburg, Ohio-based Madhouse, marking the first non-Christmas, non-compilation album not to feature a Michael Wilson photograph on the cover. However, Wilson's work does appear in the CD booklet.
• The lyrics to "Don't Wait For Tom" contain several references to Tom Waits songs, including "Swordfish Trombones," "Ol' 55," and "Make It Rain."
