Notes
Carnival in Babylon represented a new direction, towards more conventional song structures.
The German CD release on Repertoire Records, and the East-West/Amon Düül 2 Records edition, both include three extra tracks, including the rare 7" single tracks, "Light" and "Between the Eyes".
Some vinyl copies were mis-pressed, with the A-side replaced by a side by some other group, identity unknown (but they sound a bit like Mountain).
