Producer's notes on the CD reissue:
1. Tis Me Tis You was misspelled as Tease me, tease you on the original LP-issue.
2. Because the original master tape of this session was lost, the music was transferred from vinyl.


The CD reissue has an eight-page booklet with photos by Vesa Aaltonen, lyrics for the songs, and notes by Juha Nikulainen which can also be found at the Jukka Tolonen webpage.
