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' 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 (the Message In A Box: The Complete Recordings liner notes mention that it was recorded in Canada - probably August 1981 - as there was demand for a b-side).
The other Ghost-era b-side Low Life does not actually belong here, as it's a production from Reggatta de Blanc sessions.
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 (this count-in was already featured in a video of this song)
- One World (Not Three)
- Rehumanize Yourself
- Hungry For You (J'aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)
- Invisible Sun features the Wouldn't It Be Loverly 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 (long) movie version and not the soundtrack version. It might not even feature Stewart Copeland at all.
