Notes

This is the Promotional Release CDR which was issued in a single plastic sleeve along with 'New Release' information sheet. The information sheet contains the following advert:

"Virgin/EMI are very pleased to present a superb comprehensive Best of Japan on 27 March. A long time in the coming, this is the first time early Hansa tracks have run alongside the Virgin years on one CD, providing a tantalising career overview of one of the most intriguing, sophisticated and imaginative bands of the 80s. Artwork will be suitably eye-catching, with photos provided by long time Japan snapper Fin Costello and newly commissioned sleeve notes."

"The Very Best of Japan DVD is also out on 27 March, featuring 7 promo videos plus the seminal Oil on Canvas live show from 1983."
