The album's cover graphic is based on a logo used from the 1930s until the 1950s by German cigarette manufacturer Haus Bergmann.
"The Score" is used as the company theme music of professional wrestling promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling, played at live events, press conferences and to signify New Japan wrestlers' involvement on other companies' shows (usually to provoke a negative crowd reaction from said promotions' core fans).
"Touch and Go" is based on the traditional English folk song "Lovely Joan", though uncredited.
With the death of Cozy Powell on 5th April 1998, of Keith Emerson on 11th March 2016 and Greg Lake on 7th December 2016, there are no surviving members of the band.
