All tracks of CD1 and CD2 are the single versions, except 2-3 (the single was not yet released) and:
1-2: mix title missing on album sleeve, however it is mentioned in the booklet
1-6: previously unreleased version based on The Beatmasters' 7" mix

1-14: edit of the '(US radio edit)'
2-15: album version, accidentally substituted for the single mix

Also:

    Although this is, by far, the ultimate Pet Shop Boys collection to date, including two new brilliant songs ("Flamboyant" being their best release in years), the third bonus CD of remixes leaves much to be desired. Obviously they were not going to simply fill it with the remixes which have been widely available, but the remixes included, for the most part, sound like nothing but filler and quite a disappointment for this huge PSB fan.

    I was expecting a much stronger collection of never-released vocal remixes.

    But the album, for what it is, still gets the highest rating.
