[edit] Facts

Tony Banks had the idea for Bankstatement after hearing of the success that Mike and the Mechanics was having in both Europe and America.
The track "Queen of Darkness" includes parts of the track "Lorca" from the "Redwing Suite" (from Banks' Soundtracks album, 1986).
The music for "A House Needs A Roof" was originally a demo for the Quicksilver movie. It was not used, and was given lyrics and included on this album.
