Charts

• UK: Went silver (60,000 copies) (date unkown).

Notes

• Initially a UK cassette only release, released in the US as Taking Liberties.
• Original cassette copies were made of gold plastic and came in a gold case.
• This version of "Radio Sweetheart" is a slightly different mix to the original version (B-side of "Less Than Zero" 7").
  

It does not have the backing vocals singing "Oooooh" at the start of the line "Hope in the eyes..." near the start.

• The CD version has a typo in the song list which reads "Balck And White World".
