Bonus tracks B4 to B7 original titles as follows:

B4 'Just Cool' is 'Trip To Mars' (Aka Cornerstone) by Lloyd Brevett & His Ska Talite

B5 'Japan Special' is 'Let Me Inna The Yard' (Aka Ska-culation, Instrumental) by the Skatalites

Note: This track was identified by Lloyd Knibb of the Skatalites as 'Let Me Inna The Yard' but does not appear to have been released under its actual title. It was released on Studio One on the flip to The Soulettes 'I Love You Baby' as 'Instrumental' and on Doctor Bird on the flip to Jack Sparrow's 'Ice Water' as 'Ska-culation'. The latter may be a misprint though, as 'Ska-culation' is usually the shortened title of Roland Alphonso's 'Miss Ska-culation', which is itself a version of the Chantays 'Pipeline'.

B6 'Space Light' is 'Spitfire' by Don Drummond

B7 'Rock With Me Baby' is 'Take Five' by Baba Brooks
