Except for Seven More Days and If You Let Me Stay which was done by Howard Grey, the Red Headed Scouser of Camden,

It was Sonically captured and Psycho·Acoustically assaulted by Phil 'Foghorn' Legg, The Laughing Man 
With the exception of Who's Loving You which was written by the fantastically brilliant Smokey Robinson,
All songs were written* and arranged by Terence Trent D'Arby

Wishing Well is Co·credited with the exceedingly talented and laidback Mr. Sean Oliver who still owes me ten quid.
