The first track on the original EP is a cover version of American folk musician, Tim Hardin's, song "How Can We Hang On to a Dream?", with the title was changed to "Hang on to a Dream". The second track, "Avalanche" was a new song by the band. The next three tracks: "All My Colours (Zimbo)", "Silver" and "Angels and Devils"; are re-recordings of the songs.
