  • Additionally, the iTunes edition of the single-disc version includes 'What She Said' (as track 10) as a bonus track plus 'Hand in Glove' (Live at Brixton Ace 29/6/83) (as track 25).
  • On the exterior packaging, 'Hand in Glove', 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore' and 'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me' are not noted as being single versions or edits. Also, there are several errors regarding the lengths of certain songs (for example, 'You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby' is listed as being 4:03 in length when it is actually 3:35).
  • 'You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby' is a slightly slower version than previously issued. According to an interview posted on Johnny Marr's homepage with mastering engineer Frank Arkwright, '[W]e removed the varispeed from the original release which I thought was too fast ..'[9]
