Through the unique jockeying done by Columbia in re-organizing the song list, Imaginos migrated from the second position, to the complete rear end of things.
Like I said, it's the second song on the album that isn't sung by any of the three main vocalsits of BOC. The so-called Albert Bouchard demo available here on YouTube is sung by Albert. This final version isn't. It is sung by Jon Rogers.
As a last bit of trivia, Columbia brought in BOC's new keyboard player, Tommy Zvoncheck, to re-record the parts originally played by Tommy Mandel on the demos, which helped them assert that a given amount of recordings was done by BOC members.
The impressive personnel roster is made of:
Band members
Eric Bloom – vocals
Albert Bouchard – guitar, percussion, vocals, associate producer
Joe Bouchard – keyboards, backing vocals
Allen Lanier – keyboards
Donald Buck Dharma Roeser – guitars, vocals

Session musicians
Phil Grande – guitars
Tommy Zvoncheck – keyboards
Kenny Aaronson – bass
Thommy Price – drums
Joey Cerisano – vocals
Jon Rogers – vocals
Jack Secret (aka Tony Geranios) – backing vocals
Shocking U – backing vocals on In the Presence
Daniel Levitin – guitar sounds (uncredited)
