Details

A collection of tracks featured on early Cud singles and EPs. The version of Slack Time has been re-recorded as the original master tape had been lost/stolen.

The cover image does indeed feature original Cud guitarist Dave Read (aka Elvis Belt) sporting the Elvis Belt that gave him his nickname. Carl Puttnam's midriff is also featured.

The record is incorrectly labelled on the spine "Only You Can Take Me There".

Vinyl copies of the record included a cartoon strip by William Potter.
