In a press interview at the time, Virginia refered to Tender as being about "someone hurting someone else but always thinking things are going to get better. It's about having an affair with someone who is really going out with somebody else, and thinking 'what's the point?'"

The version of Tender featured on this release is an extended version.

The lyrics to Tender are reproduced on the back of the sleeve.

Martin Stephenson plays guitar on A Long Time Ago.
