________________

The cover lists conflicting information compared to the label:
Cover does not list Rogers as co-author for Track A3.
Track A5 producer is given with "David Mackay" on cover due to missing index. The production credits are inconsistent throughout several releases of this album: Compare the original UK release [r=2133600, the original US Polydor release [r=564563 and the re-release on remastered CD [r=1184316. The exact split of the producer responsibilities is unknown, but most likely as follows:
Manfred Mann/Dave Hadfield: Tracks A2, A3, B1 to B3, B5
David Mackay: Tracks: A1, A4, B4
Ambiguous info: Track A5 (but believed to be produced by Mann/Hadfield as it seems to be more consistent)

A1. California Coastline 3:48
A2. Captain Bobby Stout 6:57
A3. Sloth 1:27
A4. Living Without You 3:36
A5. Tribute 5:32
B1. Please Mrs. Henry 4:30
B2. Jump Sturdy 4:49
B3. Prayer 5:40
B4. Part Time Man 3:04
B5. I'm Up And I'm Leaving 3:07
