Annotation

Recorded at Master Control (Burbank), Pacifique (Burbank), Studio Des Dames (Paris), Blackwing (London). Mixed at Master Rock, London.
Tracks 16 to 19 recorded live at Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, Utrecht on 25th September 1990 for VPRO Radio 3, Holland. Engineer for NOB.

Indexed differently to the UK & US CDs - the "Well, that's the way I learned" sample is on the beginning of 'Lovely Day' rather than the end of 'Distance Equals Rate Times Time', hence the difference in track times.
