      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 re-issue of _Trust_. Also, this is the only release of the
      track "Little Goody Two Shoes" (early version of "Inch By Inch").
      UK: Went silver (60,000 copies) (date unkown).
