Notes

Matte gatefold with obi and 2-page insert with English and Japanese tracklistings and track times on one side and Japanese language liner notes and English lyrics to "I Need A Bathroom" on the other. Track B1 title on back cover is "Focus IV", while on insert and label it is "Focus ⵊ𝚅" i.e. different fonts for the roman numeral "4" Track B2 title on cover is "Someone's Crying ..... What!", while on insert it's "Someone's Crying ... What/" and on label it's "Someone's Crying...What!" Track B3 title on cover is "All Together! ... Oh That!", while on insert and label the title is "All Together!... That?" For track B6 credits: on back cover states "(Traditional. Arranged and adopted by Thys Van Leer), while on the label for the same track it states "(Arr and addapted T. van Leer). Clearly, the word should be "adapted" in both instances.
