Note: This is identical to the US CD, except for the cover, which is a blow-up of Lesley's face from the I'll Cry if I Want To LP cover;also, there are apparently very detailed liner notes, in Japanese, and English lyrics for every song, loosely translated with many humorous errors

Der Erste Tanz, Hab Ich Das Verdient, Sieben Girls, Little Little Liebling, Goodbye Tony, Musikant, Nur Du Ganz Allein, So Sind Die Boys Alle
1989 Belgium Duchesse CD 352074 Greatest Hits
This is identical to the US & Japanese Golden Hits CDs, minus "What Am I Gonna Do with You" and "You Didn't Look 'Round," sequenced differently, with Lesley's first publicity photo on the cover
FYI: On the monaural issue of the 12-track, 1965 original release of Golden Hits on LP, "You Don't Own Me" and "I Don't Wanna Be a Loser" are both sung outside of the echo chamber in single-voice alternate takes...While Bear Family resucitated "You Don't Own Me" for the box set, "Loser" is still treading water in the vault...
and...
On the monaural issue of My Town, My Guy and Me, there is a fabulous, two-or-three voiced multitracked vocal on "What Am I Gonna Do with You" that rockets that classic tearjerker into a whole other dimension, and is the equal of either one-voiced version that has surfaced on the various anthologies...
