| Special Notes: By Ugo Coppola |
From what Sally is quoted to have said in the CD booklet, "I picked up a guitar and wrote all the songs that were to appear on the record in just two days". It sounds like she's the only writer. Yet the credits on the booklet's back cover are careless enough to mention 'M. Oldfield' as the only writer of four tracks (including one he can't IMHO have written entirely on his own, i.e. "Chameleon"), while only four more tracks [out of sixteen!] are credited as 'Oldfield, Oldfield' [one of which, "Milk bottle", is a guitar impromptu that I don't think Sally's had anything at all to do with]. |
