Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Vinyl Mastering by Abbey Road Studios, London.

G.I. Blues was first released by Follow That Dream as a 7 inch extended soundtrack in July 2012 (see here), and this vinyl edition is a compilation of tracks taken from that original release.

Although listed as being take 12, the first (fast) version of 'Frankfort Special' (side 1, track 3) is actually take 13.
