The album includes liner notes written by the band members themselves, reflecting on the tracks included.
Track listing
Notes The included version of "Johnny Panic" is not the original 1990, B-side version, but the remix produced by Fluke, which was released in 1991 as a single in its own right. The original can be heard on the B-side of "Advice for the Young at Heart" and also on the remastered CD of The Seeds of Love. The included version of "Tears Roll Down" is the original B-side from 1989, not the later "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)" version which was a hit single in 1992. Although this album was released after Raoul and the Kings of Spain, it contains none of the various B-sides recorded around the time of that album as Tears for Fears had switched record labels by that time. Other notable absent tracks are "Wino", "The Conflict" and "Music for Tables". All of these have later been included on reissues of the original albums. "Ashes to Ashes" is from the NME charity album Ruby Trax.
