Notes

Tracks 15 & 16 are from Bid's sole Él solo single. This isn't credited on the release, nor does it mention that these are bonus tracks not on the original vinyl release from 1983. The 12" version includes a third song, which is available on CD on the Japanese versions of this release.

The CD made is in the UK, Mastered by Nimbus, removing "Made in France" from the CD face of the original BRED CD issue; also, the art is on a lighterweight stock and adds the web site on the back.
