Even though the decades-later CD version of this compilation is radically different from the 1976 vinyl version, this less-common CD issue is yet another variation of that, throwing out the chronology, re-sequencing and dropping tracks (Complicated Life, Alcohol), adding others (Supersonic Rocket Ship, Schooldays) and using a remix of "Mirror Of Love" rather than the album version. They didn't revise the source credits in the front insert though, leaving the chronological credits from the other version, so they're often wrong. (For instance, it says "Maximum Consumption" is from "Schoolboys In Disgrace," which it isn't, and so on.)
