Open Your Eyes – This song first appeared on the 20th Century album Promised Love. As far as I have been able to determine this is the same recording as was used on that first album.

Lie To Me – This song first appeared on the 20th Century album Promised Love. 20th Century Records always had a thing for somewhat overdone arrangements and the original 20th Century Records presentation was apparently a victim of this philosophy. However, the core of the 20th Century recording seems to be the basis of this track. Several of the original background vocal tracks and several instrumental tracks were removed, then new instrumentation and background tracks recorded giving the track a less massive, more tasteful sound.

Crazy – This song first appeared on the 20th Century album Promised Love. As far as I have been able to determine this is the same recording as was used on that first album.

I Hope You’ll Be Vey Unhappy Without Me – This song first appeared on the 20th Century album Promised Love. As with Lie To Me the original 20th Century Records was burdened with a somewhat overdone arrangement. As with Lie To Me, the core of the 20th Century recording seems to be the basis of this track. Again, several of the original background vocal tracks and several instrumental tracks were removed, then new instrumentation and background tracks recorded giving the track a less massive, more tasteful sound.
