Unused tracks

Buffett recorded two demos of songs entitled "Columbus” and “Asking Us To Dance”, with Columbus being based on the explorer Christopher Columbus, but did not make the album cut. The demo is available for download on most Buffett fan sites and FTP collection sites. “Asking Us To Dance” is a song originally a song by Hugh Prestwood, who also wrote “Savannah Fare You Well”, another track on the album.

Cover photo and release date

This album cover was originally a photo of Jimmy, wearing a turban and sitting on a camel. This was changed and the release subsequently delayed following 9/11.

CD-DVD

The CD, if played on a computer with CD-ROM capability, includes the video for the title song.

gollark: Otherwise it turns off.
gollark: Basically, the top one transmits the powercell's fullness level (obtained via a computercraft thing since comparators appear to not work) and the bottom one receives that, reads the reactor's buffer level (it was meant to be heat but somehow I just get the RF output buffer level), and if the powercell is below full and the buffer empty it turns the reactor on.
