Regarding Disc Two - Dance:

Track 2-1: The booklet lists this track as being originally released on Disconet Volume 2, Number 9, April 1979. The proper Disconet issue is Volume 2, Number 8, March 1979. The track is from the beginning portion of a much longer Disconet Megamix-Medley called, "Bobby DJ Spotlights Diana Ross" with the last four songs of the medley omitted. Disconet never made a dedicated version of this song, only edited versions of the medley exist.
Track 2-4: The LP mix is actually a re-remixed version for the ROSS (1978) album. An edited version was originally issued on the first pressings of the soundtrack album THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY (Casablanca) in May 1978. An overdubbed remix was issued on subsequent TGIF pressings.
Track 2-7: Contains "Stop! In The Name Of Love", "Back In My Arms Again", "Come See About Me", "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart", "Where Did Our Love Go?", "Baby Love". Remixed by Cal Harris from the album MOTOWN SUPERSTAR SERIES VOLUME 1: DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES. Includes additional instrumentation.
Track 2-8: This edit substitutes James Simpson's 12-inch mix of "The Boss" for the LP mix.
Track 2-10: Mixed in 2003 at Universal Mastering Studios-East. Engineer: Suha Gur. Proposed for inclusion on the cancelled album REVELATIONS.
Track 2-11: Alternate version from the cassette-only edition of the compilation REACH OUT AND TOUCH (SOMEBODY’S HAND).
