The track "Going Home" is credited with personnel "Lampoon". The track had originally been planned as a Dave Lambert single before he joined [Strawbs](/source/Strawbs). Cousins replaced Lambert's vocals with his own and released it as a single. It is believed that the other musicians were [Blue Weaver](/source/Blue_Weaver) on keyboards, [John Ford](/source/John_Ford_(musician)) on bass guitar and [Richard Hudson](/source/Richard_Hudson_(musician)) on drums. This would have been the first time that this new Strawbs line-up recorded together.
