Tracks marked * are alternate recordings to the versions on the UK CD release.
According to Miles: "...I had become slightly dissatisfied with some of the mixes that we had settled upon releasing in the UK and I saw the opportunity to release the album in the US as a chance to readdress them. Add to which, Malc Treece had added some extra guitar parts to a few of the songs while we had toured the album in the UK and I very much wanted to add those to the recordings. This explains why there are two different versions of the album, one released in the UK, the other in the US later in March 2005."
