[edit] Additional information
Inca Rag/Name Game is actually two songs that blend into each other, this being an indication of the direction the band would take on the following album Blueberry Boat.
Tropical Ice-Land, Rub-Alcohol Blues and We Got Back The Plague share the same tempo, are grouped together on the album cover track listing and could for this reason be construed as a three-part song. Rub Alcohol Blues, credited to William E. Myer is most known for being performed by (and written for) the folk banjo player Dock Boggs.
Crystal Clear, Tropical Ice-Land and We Got Back The Plague have all appeared on singles, Tropical Ice-Land also appearing on the 2005 compilation EP. These single versions of Tropical Ice-Land and We Got Back The Plague however differ significantly from the original album versions.
