Notes
- There was an extremely rare edition of the CD limited to 200 copies, only half of them released to retail, where customers only learnt what they had upon opening the package. It contained two bonus tracks, "Step Inside Love" and "Sticks And Stones", both of which appear on the Rhine/Edsel reissue bonus disk.
