Notes
"Into the Night" was a minor hit for Frehley, reaching #27 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1987. The song was written by Russ Ballard, who also composed Frehley's Top 20 single "New York Groove."
"Breakout" is co-written with former Kiss member Eric Carr. Whenever Ace Frehley performs this song live he dedicates it to Carr.
"Calling To You" is a re-write of a song called "Mega Force" originally recorded by the band 707 in 1982. Tod Howarth had been a principal member and songwriter with 707, and likely brought the song with him when he joined Frehley's Comet. Originally recorded as the theme to the motion picture Mega Force, the song had been 707's biggest chart achievement (#12 Billboard Rock Tracks). The "Calling To You" version by Frehley's Comet features altered lyrics, with Jonathan Cain's writing credit removed and Ace Frehley's added. Interestingly, the Frehley's Comet album was released on Jon Zazula's apparently unrelated Megaforce Records.
