Quotations and trivia
This 2022 release includes Once Upon A Daydream, but leaves out Flexible Strategies and Love Lessons.
Once Upon A Daydream was recorded on Montserrat in 1981, so its appearance makes sense.
Flexible Strategies's omission seems strange, as it was a b-side in 1981 just like Shambelle and the style of that song indicates that it was certainly recorded after Zenyatta Mondatta.
Love Lessons was recorded during the Ghost... sessions, but probably abandoned at an early production stage.
Some songs from this 2022 release feature count-ins by Stewart Copeland that were not on the album's original 1981 release:
- Spirits In The Material World
- One World (Not Three)
- Rehumanize Yourself
- Hungry For You (J'aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)
- Invisible Sun features the Wouldn't It Be Lovely ending that was previously only heard in the music video
- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic features additional hi-hat beats right before the familiar intro
- I Burn For You is the movie version and not the soundtrack version. It might not even feature Stewart Copeland at all, as it could be an Abbey Road Studios recording from 1982 with just Sting and Andy Summers
