** According to a leaked demo/rehearsal tape from 1985, the main riff to "Damage Inc." was originally part of "Disposable Heroes", and, similarly, "Orion" was originally just an outro to "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" (which at the time was called "Only Thing" and featured different lyrics). In addition, Kirk's pre-chorus riff for the title track and "Disposable Heroes" was originally far more complex and more ProgressiveMetal-driven than the studio versions.

** Martin Birch was considered by the band as a potential producer (it's debatable whether he'd had time, since he was also working on Music/IronMaiden's ''Somewhere in Time'') as was [[Music/{{Rush}} Geddy Lee]], but ultimately Flemming Rasmussen (who produced [[Music/RideTheLightning the previous album]]) got the job.
