A - 1100 white label records released commercially - Level 42 provided the B-side. A-side 'Journey to...'(sic) by 'Powerline'. The release was purely commercial, the 'white labels' were used to give the record 'underground' credibility.

B - "Something About You" and "Leaving Me Now" both charted on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at #10 and #32 respectively. "Something About You" also hit #45 on the U.S. Album Rock Tracks chart.
