  • The Sade album was released shortly before The Flesh sessions took place, but Is It A Crime was already played live by Sade during her Live Aid performance in July 1985.
  • Eric Leeds named this song Voodoo Who (or Voodoo). It is not known if this is because he was confused with Jimi Hendrix' Voodoo Child (Slight Return) instead of Villanova Junction.
