Notes:
  • This version of "Get Yourself Another Fool" is simply a remixed version of the earlier single mix, with most of the echo on the vocals removed (although there's a little used) and with more pronounced keyboards. The 3 note intro and the fade out are still there.
  • "Black Sails In The Sunset" is aprox. 13 secs. longer than the version on the CD re-issue of Trust.
  • This is the only release of the track "Little Goody Two Shoes", which is an early version of "Inch By Inch".
