Long Long Way was the 1974 follow-up to Ian Thomas's self-titled debut album. It produced two successful singles, in the title track and "Mother Earth". It also gave the 1974 Most Promising Male Vocalist Juno award winner his second consecutive gold album. Thomas showed he was well on his way to becoming the hit-making machine he would be known as in Canada.
As far as I know, the only album the single version has ever appeared on is the 1980 greatest hits compilation The Best Of Ian Thomas. In 1993, when Thomas released another comprehensive best-of compilation (called Looking Back), "Mother Earth" wasn't included on it.
"Nova Heart" was the first single drawn from Arias & Symphonies (1982), the second album from Burlington, Ontario new wave band the Spoons. Released in April of 1982, the song became a Top 40 hit in Canada. It was followed by two more singles, the album's title track and "Smiling In Winter". The success of all three singles propelled Arias & Symphonies to gold status.
Recorded in July of 1982, not long after the death of lead guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and the firing of bassist Pete Farndon, "Back On the Chain Gang" would become one of the Pretenders' most successful singles. The song was recorded by an interim line-up; Rockpile guitarist Billy Bremner and Big Country bassist Tony Butler joined Chrissie Hynde and Martin Chambers for the session. 
"In Context Of the Moon", the closing track on Max Webster's High Class In Borrowed Shoes (1977) album, was the second in a series of moon-themed songs, one of which appeared on each of the first four Max Webster studio albums. It was preceded by "Coming Off the Moon", from the band's 1976 self-titled debut album. "Beyond the Moon" was featured on 1978's Mutiny Up My Sleeve, while "Moon Voices" -- the last of the series -- appeared on the 1979 album A Million Vacations.
