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