Notes

Issued in a black tray jewel case with an eight page booklet containing credits, lyrics and artwork. Some versions were sold as an "import" packaged in a long box for US distribution. The long box was printed in the US. Another edition, Secrets Of The Beehive, was manufactured specifically for US distribution, though also saw release in the UK and Europe; that edition features the catalog number 2-90677 and omits the SPARS code (though this edition's catalog number is still present in the matrix due to a reused glass master).

Track 10 is a bonus track not found on the LP release (V 2471).

Track durations are not printed on the release.
