Song information
- "Keep On Rockin'", a Hagar original, was covered by Bette Midler on the classic soundtrack to The Rose, albeit with a different arrangement.
- The track written by Van Morrison, "Flamingos Fly", was not released by Morrison until a year later on his 1977 album A Period of Transition. He gave the song to Hagar after they met at The Record Plant during the recording of the album. Morrison recorded a demo for Hagar which producer John S. Carter, Jr. and Hagar intended to produce as a duet with Morrison, a move which Morrison later rejected. Hagar then re-recorded the song from scratch.[2]
- "China", a track written by the former Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch, was not released by Welch until after this release. Welch included his version on the 1979 album Three Hearts.
- Ron Nagle's "Please Come Back" was originally included in the film, The Last Detail.
- "Young Girl Blues" is a Donovan cover.
- A demo version of "Rock 'n' Roll Romeo" was released as "Thinking of You" on The Essential Red Collection in 2004.

gollark: @OrangeC7 As a Chorus City resident, do you have suggestions for useful infrastructure? I was thinking about physical street signs which could also display news.
gollark: MEH!
gollark: It's not unique to Keansia! Chorus City has this by default by not using town claims!
gollark: That applies to literally any other land you claim!
gollark: Anyway, Keanu, seriously?
