Track B3 is credited to M.Mann/Lingwood on the label. The same song is credited to M.Mann/M.Irving on the European release Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Somewhere In Afrika. Also the tracklisting is different between the two releases. Especially track B3 is part of the "Africa Suite" on the European release whereas track B5D is not.
