On the CD sleeve for CD1, the following tracks were crossed out, track 5, "Every Day Now" and track 7, "A Prayer For You". There were also some spelling errors, "Future Is Promises" being titled "Future Is Promised" and "The Thrill Has Gone" being titled "The Truth Is Gone" on track 6 but correctly titled for track 1.

On the CD sleeve for CD2, the following tracks were crossed out, track 5, "You Owe It All To Me"; track 6, "Black Eyed Boy"; track 10, "Say What You Want" and track 13, "Black Eyed Boy". On CD2, in-between track 10, "Blacked Eyed Boy" and track 11, "Halo", was listed "River". This however was not on the CD. The Simon Mayo Session was listed twice in error but only appears on the CD once.

gollark: Also, presumably the rarer alts of common ones, like red dorsals and tan ridgewings.

gollark: Probably non-CB metallics, too.

gollark: Blusang Lindwyrms maybe?>

gollark: It might be a good deal for you if they're offering several hatchlings.

gollark: Xenowyrms *are* quite valuable.
