The notes on the cover of the release state that a "*" should indicate production by Manfred Mann and Dave Hadfield for Mann-Hadfield Productions. In fact no such indication is made on any track on the cover or label of the release which theoretically would make David Mackay producer for all tracks. However, the production credits are inconsistent throughout several releases of this album: Compare [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1188617]re-release on Bronze label[/url] and the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1184316]re-release on remastered CD[/url]. The exact split of the producer responsibilities is unknown, but most likely as follows:
Manfred Mann/Dave Hadfield: Tracks A2, A3, B1 to B3, B5
David Mackay: Tracks: A1, A4, B4
Ambiguous info: Track A5 (but believed to be produced by Mann/Hadfield as it seems to be more consistent)
