Liner notes written in september 1989 (Judge Dread) and november 1989 (George Marshall).

"With only a few exceptions, notably the unreleased recordings, the original master tapes of most of the singles on this album have long since vanished. Selecting the best vinyl copies available, including a few from Laurel's personal collection, has still left the album some "pops" and "clicks" – probably because singles by Laurel Aitken have been played to near-death by all who own them."
