• Track 3 is also known as "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" (Alternative Reel) or "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" (A Remade World).
• Track 4 is the "Hide Yourself" version.
• Track 6 for instance can be found on the "Relax" 12", Frankie Said, Sexmix and Bang!... The Greatest Hits of Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
• Track 7 is an alternative mix from the original song, and is exclusive to this release. Also, the title is misspelled "Is There Anybody Out There?".
• Track 8 "(Tag)" was an unlisted orchestral extract from "Two Tribes" and featured an impersonation of Prince Charles (by Chris Barrie) ruminating about orgasms.
• Track 14 has an early fade-out compared to the original version, said edit also appears on the 2009 Japanese Return to the Pleasuredome box set and the 2011 deluxe edition of Liverpool. According to Mark Ward, he had been trying to make it sound decent enough to get onto said Japanese set (due to the master tapes not being accessible to them), and hadn't realised that he was using the "wrong" version. ^[1]
