NOTE: In an e-mail to Byrds Flyght (24 september 2007), Ron Scuderi denied Skip Battin's participation on this record as an arranger, and said he arranged the songs himself, although Skip is cleared credited on both labels as the arranger. According to what Ron Scuderi said in the same e-mail, Skip's only participation on this record is playing a cash register on the song "Night And Day".
