+  Actually the original version of "Run" from the album "Technique".
++ Actually "Bizarre Love Triangle-94" as appears on the UK issue.
*  Limited edition, comes with a T-shirt with the blue '?'.
** Issue does not contain "Regret". Sleeve also mentions a LP and CD release.

- A UK promo box set exists that is approximately 4" x 7" white with
  the amorphous "?" on the cover, and includes a UK release discography
  and copies of the CD and CS versions of the album.

- A CDR from Barclay/Polygram, France, is supposed to exist containing
  an edit of Vanishing Point.
Q: What is the difference between the Bizarre Love Triangle from 1986 and Bizarre Love Triangle-94?
A: As for True Faith from 1987 versus True Faith-94, they are basically the same as the original versions. However, Stephen Hauge, the producer, "cleaned" up the sound and the mixing of the songs.

Q: So, is Round & Round-94 a re-recorded version then?
A: [Andrew Morrison] "Technique came out in early 1989 with the original, New Order-produced 'Round & Round'. That version was then remixed to make those "club" mixes on that cutesy 3 inch Remix CD single. The actual 7 and twelve inch mixes were re-recorded with Stephen Hague, not long after Technique came out, hence the extra harmonies and different arrangement. That, re-recorded seven inch mix was then re-mastered with a little tweaking for 'The Best Of' in 1994. The only really noticeable difference is the wide stereo panning of the opening orchestra hits, and the lack of delays on Barney's voice in the verse ('Done to me, done to me, done to me', etc.)"

Q: Why is the track listing so different between the US issue and the rest of the world?
A: [Antoine] "Qwest records didn't want some tracks appearing on Substance 1987 to appear on the best of NewOrder. That's why Shellshock, The Perfect Kiss, Thieves Like Us didn't make it to the CD. They decided to include one track from each album instead, and they are said to have asked some fans before about which tracks to include... Hence those tracks, Dreams Never End, Age of Consent, Love Vigilantes..."

Q: Why is Vanishing Point included on the album?
A: [Antoine] "Because it was planned for a single release in 1994. But London Records changed their mind and went for a new version of True Faith instead. A radio edit for Vanishing Point is supposed to exist, as well as several mixes..."
