2. "Mr Universe" - (6.14) (Gillan/Towns)
3. "She Tears Me Down" - (5.08) (Towns)

* These appear on the 1993 RPM release Gillan - The Japanese Album, see Gillan (album)
***Used as a B-side to the UK Trouble single and appears on the first release of Future Shock on CD as a bonus track
The album comes with a 4 page black and white booklet with linernotes. Most of them are in Japanese but some are in English. The last ones are signed by Ian Gillan. One page has the lyrics in English.

Although this album always is credited to the band "Gillan", cover and album credit it to "Ian Gillan". The trademark writing of "Gillan" - which first appears on the european version of Mr. Universe - does not appear on this record.
