Notes

Over The Hill were formed in 1972, broke up at the start of 1973 and reformed, with the line-up that recorded this album, toward the end of 1973.

Robert Hunter worked with the band in 1974 whilst working on material for Tales Of The Great Rum Runners. He reportedly sing on Ratbite Fever on this album but his voice is not obviously audible.

No More Trains is very similar to the Robert Hunter song That Train Don't Run Here Anymore.
