Trivia[]
- This album was:
- The first to feature Craig Abercrombie and Simon Pryce on backing vocals and the first to refer to the backing vocalists as "The Manzillas".
- The last to feature Paul Paddick as a lead vocalist until Here Comes The Big Red Car.
- The first to feature pianist Steve Blau and bassist Chris Lupton as musicians.
- The first to be engineered by Robin Gist.
- Audio clips from the tie-in video were used as the introduction tracks for each song on the album, as well as additional newly recorded narrations.
- All of the pre-song introduction tracks were not mentioned on either release of the album, resulting in seventeen total tracks being listed in the tracklist rather than twenty-eight.
- All of the Space Dancing! songs (except for "Fergus' Jig" and "Eagle Rock") sound different on the album compared to how they sound in the final video, with the main differences being that the album's versions of each song has slightly different audio mixing and musical arrangements (the album versions of "Dance The Gloomies Away" and "What's This Button For?" have a different drum track, the latter song has extra trumpet added) and additional backing vocals from Simon Pryce. This is likely because the video used early demo mixes of the songs during its production that were not replaced with their finished versions in time for its 2003 release.
- In North America, this was the first Wiggles album to be co-distributed by Koch Records.
- The album's North American release was initially scheduled for June 2003 before ultimately releasing a month earlier.[3]
