Mistaken credits:
Track 1-4 ("The Waves #1), 1-18 ("Theme") and 4-12 ("Beverly Penn") are erroneously listed as being previously released on This Is The Sea (2004 Collector's Edition), but are presented here in different versions. (Differences: 1-4 is instrumental only and is 2m30s shorter than the 2004-version. 1-18 is not a separate track on the 2004-version at all, but parts of it were used as an intro to "Be My Enemy". 4-12 has a 30 seconds longer intro than the 2004-version).
Track 2-20 is erroneously listed as being previously released on In A Special Place (2011), but comes here in a 30 seconds longer version.
Track 3-10 isn't listed as previously released, but was released on 12" in 1985
