The song "Wal to Wal" is the first recorded song on which Phil Collins used a
Rolanddrum machine. (The first recorded
Genesis song on which he used a drum machine is "
Duchess".)
Both "Don't Make Waves" and "Soho" were released as
singles and feature Phil Collins on vocals.
The non-album songs "Pool Room Blues" and "Noddy Goes to Sweden" were outtakes from the Product sessions and used as
B-sides to one of the singles. "Noddy Goes to Sweden" was also used on the 1980 album release of Do They Hurt?
Various releases of the album switch the tracks "...And So to F..." and "Not Good Enough - See Me!"
