Album Trivia: Dizrythmia
- "Dizrythmia" is a mis-spelling of "Circadian Dysrhythmia", otherwise known as jet lag.
- Back and front cover designs were by Noel Crombie. The back was originally going to be the front.
- Kate Bush was recording her first album, The Kick Inside, in the studio next door to Split Enz during the Dizrythmia sessions.
- Tim coughs forty-four seconds into 'Nice to Know'. This was accidentally left in the final mix. Extraneous voices can be heard at the beginning and ending of many tracks on the album.
- Early takes of 'Nice to Know' were much slower than the released version and began with a plodding synthesiser pulse. The synth intro was later reinstated for live performances.
- 'My Mistake' was the first Split Enz 12" single, released in the UK by Chrysalis.
- Dizrythmia is one of Nigel Griggs's favourite Split Enz albums.
