This release is a compilation of three original albums: [m108482], [m159496] and [m171060].
Unlike the said releases, this one lists only a few credits, which are all mentioned in the Credits section above. For detailed info on participating musicians, please see the original album releases.
The original cover photography is by Storm Thorgerson, but is not credited here.
The duration of track 1-11 (Far Ago And Long Away) is misprinted in the booklet (05:51), the duration listed above (5:15) is taken from a media player.
Another error is that Elliott and English get credits for both 2-8 and 2-10, but 2-8 was actually written by Parsons/Bairnson/Elliott. Also, crediting the entirety of CD 1 to Bairnson/Elliott means that Parsons' writing credit for 1-2 gets lost as well as the attributions to the various tracks (Elliott wrote 1-1, 1-8, 1-9 and 1-12; the rest is by Bairnson).
