Dedication: To my father, this rendering of his idea

The tracklist in the booklet gives track 2-6 as two seperate tracks and identifies these as track 6 Dead London (Part 1) and track 7 Dead London (Part 2) but in fact the CD only contains one contiguous track.
The duration of track 2-7 as given in the booklet (1:50) is inaccurate.
