After extensive UK and US tape vault research, no original tape could be found for the 12" single versions of " Firecracker " ( track 1-14 ) and " Love You " ( track 1-15 ) . Using sonic solutions, original vinyl copies were used on this reissue.

Some information is taken from vinyl copies because there are several errors in the booklet.
