## Notes[edit]

1. ^ Though recorded in 1983 and despite being given a catalogue number at the time, this album was not released in its originally intended form until 2012. Previous to this, tracks had been shared between the 1991 Lips That Would Kiss compilation and the LTM reissue of Circuses and Bread. In 2013, it was reissued again by LTM with Live in Bruxelles 13 August 1981 as a second CD.
