Theme 3 track 3-2 is meant to be the instrumental mix from the 12" but the album version was included by mistake. This will eventually be corrected in the 2008 box set Simple Minds - Themes - Volumes 1-5 : March 79 - September 92.
Theme 4 tracks 4-3 & 4-4 recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon on 25.9.81 by the Manor Mobile.
