Notes

Although Mark Price (drummer) was a full-time member of the band when this album was completed, he was not present for all of its recording. As such some songs feature a drum machine, and others feature "Mick Brown" on loan from The Mission.

In return for Julianne Regan helping out on backing vocals for The Mission's first album God's Own Medicine, Wayne Hussey lent his backing vocals to the song "Shelter From The Rain".

She Moves Through The Fair is the only non-All About Eve composition on the album, it being a traditional Irish folk song.

Some of the earlier cassette versions of the album had the album title "Flowers In Our Hair" printed on both sides of the tape, instead of "All About Eve".

One of the B-Sides to the single What Kind of Fool was The Garden of Jane Delawney, originally by Trees.
