Notes

Pink Island labels.
Fully laminated flipback sleeve.
Label has title as just 'Road to Ruin' unlike the cover. Cover lists track B4 as 'Let it Happen' but the label lists track as 'Say What You Can' and all cover musician credits are for 'Say What You Can'. According to Beverley's website, there was some discussion over what to call the song, so 'Let it Happen' is an alternate title.
