Studio - 5. Future Games

2. Cover.

• Early pressings of this album, and some foreign issues, have a yellow border around the picture of the two children. Subsequent pressings have a green border as seen on right.

3. Notes.

• The song timings listed here are not as indicated on all CDs since some of those timings are inaccurate, in a few cases very inaccurate. On some versions of the album (depending on the country of issue), the notes state that the track 'Woman of a 1000 Years' runs for 8:20 when in fact it runs for 5:28. Similar is the track, 'Morning Rain', listed as 6:22 and runs for 5:38, while the track 'Sometimes' is listed to run for 6:25 and only runs for 5:26.
• The title track "Future Games" was later re-recorded by Bob Welch for his 1979 solo album The Other One.
• There is at least one known early version of "Morning Rain" with the title "Start Again".
• After the band completed the album and turned it in, the record label said that it would not release an album with only 7 songs, and demanded that they record an 8th. "What A Shame" was recorded hastily as a jam to fulfill this request.
