For the original release: The third ("Fabienne") & eleventh ("Dream On", an Aerosmith cover) tracks are b-sides from the "Tower Of Strength" single, and only appear on the tape and CD (they aren't on the vinyl LP release). The full 13 songs are used as the base album (before the bonus reissue tracks) for the expanded, remastered CD, where track 15 ("Child's Play (Live)") is erroneously listed as being "Previously unreleased" when in reality it's "First time on CD" (the exclusive b-side from the limited "Into The Blue (UK 1990) (opens in a new tab)" 12").
