Notes

  • Music videos were shot for both "I'm Drawn to you Sweetheart"[4] and "From My TV Screen to Your Bedroom"[5]
  • Due to the fact that Jet Turner from Dora Maar was a featured musician on the album the song "They Call It Lust, We Call It a Good Time" is believed to possibly be a reference to Doraa Maar's song titled "Call it Lust", in return Turner's new band, The Shootout! wrote a song responding called, "They Call It A Good Time, We Call It Date Rape".
