Notes: 1) Above picture and following credits were taken from the US Geffen edition for Columbia House. According to web sources the non-Columbia House edition on Geffen either comes with the same above catalog # or with the alternate catalog # GEF 24239. 2) Album was subsequently re-released with a different cover art than above. 3) This edition comes with no credits for the artwork/design department. 4) It appears that the non-Columbia House edition on Geffen comes with a different inner sleeve design and more content in the matter of liner notes than for the Columbia House edition. Please check back for relative update. 4) According to web sources, track 12 was included in Peter Cetera's greatest hits US compilation “You're The Inspiration” on A&M 161250 (1997).
