"Molten Gold" is not, as has been alleged, a reunion of the original Free line-up (Kossoff, Paul Rodgers, Andy Fraser, Simon Kirke); it is an outtake from the 1972 Free album Free at Last, with overdubs.

"Time Away" features three-fifths of the Mk II Free line-up (Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu Yamauchi), along with singer-songwriter-guitarist John Martyn, who would in 1975 invite Kossoff to guest on his own tour; this collaboration can be heard on expanded editions of Martyn's Live at Leeds album.
