The track The Battle of New Orleans marks the first time Roger Glover has performed vocals of any kind on a Deep Purple studio recording.
A 13th Track (I'm a) Road Runner was released as a download for describers on October 6th, 2021 and later on the Limited Edition 5×12″ Vinyl Box Set, as the b'side of 7 and 7 is.
