  • Tracks 7, 11 and 13 were recorded for Rodriguez' unfinished third album and were first released in the 1977 Australian compilation album Rodriguez at His Best. The three tracks were later included as bonus tracks on the Coming from Reality 2009 US re-issue

In anticipation of possible customer questions raised by the film as to whether Rodriguez is properly compensated for this album, the back cover has the statement, "Rodriguez receives royalties from the sale of this release."[1]
