Track listing


The single version of "Island" (a different recording from the album version, with faster tempo, more overdubbed backing vocals, and no classical themes at the end) was backed with a non-LP B-side, "The Sea." Some CD editions of the album include both of these tracks.

All tracks are written by Keith Relf and Jim McCarty, with themes by John Hawken and Louis Cennamo, except where noted.
