Notes

• "Something That Produces Results" & "Baby Blue" both have an acoustic renditions on Aces band I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business acoustic album "Dust'n Off the Ol" Gee-Tar."
• Jeff mentioned that there is one other song written for the record. Everything but the vocals were recorded.
• Exchanging Two-Hundred featured on the hit US TV show Dog the Bounty Hunter.
• The line "I don't want you to love me anymore" on the track "Baby Blue" is taken directly from a The Get Up Kids song "No Love" on their debut album Four Minute Mile.
