[edit] Band line-up

¹ Marc is listed as a member of the band, but it is unclear as to whether he played bass on the recording. The band gives thanks to a person named Tom MacDonald for "lending his bass skills" to the recording, but it is not known whether he played bass on every song or only a select few.
