From the thethe.com archives:
1-01: The original Epic single produced by Mike Thorne and recorded in New York in 1982. This version is actually a previously unreleased edit between the 7 and 12 versions. It features the haunting saxophone solo of Crispin Ciao, which some people seem to actually prefer to the Jools Holland solo on the later version.
1-02: The original Epic single produced by Mike Thorne in New York, but radically overhauled bt Paul Hardiman and Matt back in London in 1982. Features the brilliant harmonica playing of ex-New York Doll, David Johanson.
1-03: A previously unreleased edit of this infamously banned single. Produced in New York by Roli Mosimann and Matt.
1-04: Extra loud version of this classic track. Produced by Warne Livesey and Matt.
1-05: A new edit combines the album and single versions of one of The The's most famous singles.
1-06: A previously unreleased edit of this banned single.
1-07: One of The The's biggest hits of the 80's and featuring the classic Johnson/Marr/Eller/Palmer line up.
1-08: Sweat soaked hit from the Dusk album. Extra loud.
1-09: The last time the Johnson/Marr/Eller/Palmer line up were ever to play together. Probably one of The The's most underrated singles. Featuring the beautiful harmonica melodies of Johnny Marr.
1-10: Considered by many to be The The's finest ever song.
1-11: Previously known as That Was The Day, this newer version of the song is actually still The The's biggest British hit to date-
1-12: A huge international hit. Could have been written for Matt by the late Hank Williams.
1-13: A brand new version of the song first featured in NakedSelf. Produced by The The's notorious ex-bass player James Eller and featuring the mesmerising duet between Matt and the brilliant Liz Horsman.
1-14: Earmarked to become yet another TheThe classic. A direct descendant of Heartland. Produced by the legendary production team of Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley and featuring the Johnson/Schermerhorn/Campbell/Harvin line up.
1-15: Also produced by Langer & Winstanley with the Johnson/Schermerhorn/Campbell/Harvin line up, but this time featuring the wonderful Angela McCluskey.

Promotional copies come with a small sticker placed below the thumbnail for Dusk on the back of the hardback cover but are otherwise identical.
