Bonus tracks:

California Dreaming (single edit)
Edited from the longer single version. There were actually quite a number of edits within the song. This version had to be re-built on computer using the original album version. It appears on the original edit master for the single had been destroyed. The B-side in the UK was another album track, 'Chicago Institute' for the single it was shortened to 'Chicago'. In the US the single was backed by the edited version of 'Fish Soup' & re-titled 'Bouillabaisse'.

Davy's On The Road Again (single edit)
UK top 10 single. This was an edited version of the album track.

Bouillabaisse (single edit)
Edited version of the album track 'Fish Soup' which was a B-side.

Mighty Quinn (single edit)
A completely different version to the album version. The single version was a studio recording with a live section added in the beginning. This was quite unlike the album version which had been recorded live & had studio overdubs. The 'Mighty Quinn' single used an excerpt from the album version for the B-side, entitled 'Tiny', it was just that.
