Background

This was the first time many of these tracks, including B-sides and alternate versions, appeared on CD.

While a few remixes were also absent from this collection, the most notable missing songs are four B-sides which appeared on various editions of the "Come Undone" single in 1993:

  • "Falling Angel"
  • "Time for Temptation"
  • "Stop Dead"
  • "To the Shore" (remix)

"To the Shore" originally appeared on the band's first album Duran Duran (1981), but due to the playing time limitations of vinyl records, when the album was reissued in 1983 the song was dropped in favour of the new single "Is There Something I Should Know?". The song remained unfamiliar to many who became fans only after their mainstream success in 1983 and after.
