Annotation

There seems to be many track listings associated with Virgin VD 2510.
There is even confusion on what the track listing is on this release.
The inside gatefold listing has it wrong.
Track listing taken from the disc label except...
The titles of track 3 are listed separately on the disc label (as tracks 3 and 4 with one aggregate track time) but performed as a medley with a single cue point on vinyl.
