Trivia[]
- To fit more all 15 tracks on one CD, almost all track lengths were truncated, making them a bit longer than the standard SEB length, but not close to their full versions. Only "Night Fever", "Maybe Tonite", "Stay" and "Wing Of Fire" were included on its extended version.
- The first and last tracks are alternative versions of First Stage's eyecatch soundfile.
- Track 1, "Killing My Love" by Leslie Parrish, is a rip from its vinyl single and not a master tape, as evidenced in noticeable "pop" sounds and a forensic heatmap review in advanced sound software. This was later solved in the digital release.
- Despite appearing on this album, the song "Killing My Love" was not featured in the anime. However, this appeared in the VHS video "Super Euro Battle" (together with "Space Boy" and "No One Sleep In Tokyo") and then it appeared in the Arcade Stage series.
- Track 15 is a Japanese cover of "Wings Of Fire" by Jee Bee, performed by Michiko Neya and Yumi Kakazu, who voiced the characters Mako Sato and Sayuki in the series.
- The earlier versions of the album had an error in the booklet credits where Track 15 is incorrectly labeled as "Track 18". This was fixed in the reissue.
