Notes

In early 1982 the next regular TD album, White Eagle, was released by the trio Froese/Franke/Schmoelling. The track Mojave Plan had been played live for the first time with Eberhard Schoener and orchestra at the "Classic Rock Night" in Munich on December 9th, 1981. Edgar Froese and Chris Franke were also on keyboards for a short time during the final tracks Time Square by Eberhard Schoener (not to be confused with TD's composition from 1997) and Give Peace A Chance.

Re-Releases

In 1984 the album was released on CD for the first time as part of a series by Virgin. With the exception of Exit, all releases of this series had a similar cover design, using only part of the original artwork in a monochrome border that featured the band and album title.

In 1995 Virgin re-released the album on CD in the so-called "Definitive Edition" series, featuring the original front cover artwork.

In 2012 the original album was re-released as part of the compilation box The Virgin Years 1977-1983.

In 2020 the album was newly remastered by Ben Wiseman from the original tapes and re-released both as part of the Pilots Of Purple Twilight box set and as individual album.
