* ChannelHop: Talk Talk shifted over to the Creator/{{Polydor|Records}}-owned Verve Records for this album, having previously been released from Creator/{{EMI}} as the result of a contractual dispute that led to a legal battle against the label, which the band won. Because the band wasn't planning to keep trucking on for much longer by this point, they worked out a deal for just two albums with Polydor-- frontman Mark Hollis provided the second in the form of his sole 1998 solo album, released directly through Polydor themselves; the album was originally intended to be released under attribution to Talk Talk before being rebranded as a Hollis solo album.
