Notes

Tracks 15 & 16 are from Bid's sole Él solo single. This isn't credited on the release, nor does it mention that these are bonus tracks not on the original vinyl release from 1983. The 12" version includes a third song, which is available on CD on the Japanese versions of this release.

A later pressing has a CD made in the UK, Mastered by Nimbus, removing "Made in France" from the CD face; also, the art is on a lighterweight stock.

This is a marvelous compilation of singles and stray tracks, and for those who agree, seek out either of the Japanese issues, and it tacks on 9 (!) bonus tracks, many exclusively on CD.
