This release is the reissued English titled version of this album intended for the international market. It contains a reduced and altered track listing than the original Japanese release, 音楽図鑑 (the Japanese title is pronounced "Ongaku Zukan" and when translated means "Music Encyclopedia").
It combines about half of the tracks from the 1984 album with the newer non-album singles "Steppin' Into Asia" and "Field Work" (both from 1985) and a track from the bonus single with the first Japanese pressings, "Ma Mere l'Oye" (here renamed "Zen-Gun".)
