OTHER NOTES
Gavn Friday is a childhood friend of Bono's, and one collaborator with whom Bono has worked extensively outside of U2.  Gavin has over the years influenced Bono, and has also acted as a consultant on both the Popmart and the Elevation tours.

This 1995 album was Gavin's third solo release, and the first of his solo albums to feature any material by U2.  Bono and the Edge both contribute backing vocals to the song "Little Black Dress" on this album.  Those with keen eyes will note the reference to "Mr. Pussy" in the video for U2's Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, and will realize the links to Gavin's song of the same name.

The packaging on this release was interesting. What would normally be the front cover was packaged to contain the track listing.  The typical back cover actually contained the image listed as the "Front cover".  An alternate front cover is found on the inside cover of the booklet.
