Notes

From Failsafe's Website:
The band left for Australia to seek fame and fortune, and the possibility of regular income from music. The band hit big troubles and high court battles over the use of their name, and eventually imploded and returned to New Zealand and lost their singer, but they kept making tight pop music with songwriter paul scott taking over vocal duties. this is a collection of the zoo album and demos of those fine songs.
