Notes:

Recorded by Dave Wittman at The Record Plant Studios, Los Angeles, CA; July - September 1982. Drums recorded by Niko Bolas and Rich Bosworth at Record One Studios, Los Angeles, CA; July 1982. Additional engineering by Ricky Delano, Kevin Eddy and David Blanco. Mixed at The Power Station Studios, New York City, NY by Bob Clearmountain and Gene Simmons. Track A1 remixed by Dave Wittman at the Electric Lady Studios, New York City, in 1985 and the album was also remastered, changing the sonic dynamics further. The track order on this 1985 reissue is also modified slightly with tracks A2 and B3 being swapped. The 1995 vinyl versions use the original 1982 cover with the 1985 audio contents.

There are actually three different covers to the album: The first is the original, the second in the 1985 reissue featuring Bruce, and the third is the Remaster, which has a slight variation in the logo and lettering. * Some test pressings of a glow in the dark picture disc for this reissue do circulate. The 1995 vinyl versions use the original 1982 cover with the 1985 audio contents.
