Notes

Released in slimline jewel case with titled disc label.
The 1st edition with picture disc label was released in September 1990 as part of the box set "Themes - Volume 1 : March 79 - April 82".

When "Sons And Fascination"/"Sister Feelings Call" was released on CD, Virgin had to leave some songs out for space reasons. "League Of Nations" was one, so this was the first time this track appeared on CD. Virgin put the other missing track, "Sound In 70 Cities" on the CD also.

"Themes - The Simple Minds 12" mixes and extended versions. A new series on 19 CD EPS. Many available for the first time on CD".
