Notes

1999 remastered re-issue with 7 bonus cuts.
Comes with lyric booklet.
Originally released in 1985.

Track 7 is misspelled "Head Over Heals / Broken (Live)" on the rear tray artwork and again once in the booklet.

Track 13 is a B-side from the single Change, which supported Tears For Fears' first LP, The Hurting, and does not appear on either the later 2xCD remaster for Songs From The Big Chair, or the 1999 remaster for The Hurting.

Track 10 was not produced.
