Notes
- "How Much Is the Fish?" samples the song "Zeven Dagen Lang" by the Dutch band Bots. The melody originates from a traditional Celtic Son ar Chistr played on Alan Stivell's 1970 album Reflets. The title is derived from lyrics in the song "Buffalo" by Anglo-Irish indie group Stump, taken from the 1986 mini-album Quirk Out. The background music sample comes from the album version of the song Paradox from the German band 666.
- "We Are the Greatest" samples the 1982 single "Street Dance" by rap act Break Machine and the lyrics of the 1985 song "Don't Stop the Rock" by Freestyle.
- Single version of "Call Me Mañana" samples the song "James Brown Is Dead" by Dutch rave duo L.A. Style, as well as Scooter's own song "I'm Raving".
- "I Was Made for Lovin' You" is a cover of the Kiss song, taken from the 1979 album Dynasty.
- "Eyes Without A Face" is a cover of the Billy Idol song, taken from the 1983 album Rebel Yell.
- "Expecting More from Ratty" was the first mention of the group's future pseudonym 'Ratty', under which name they would release two singles and produce several remixes.
