Notes

Special edition with 3 free postcards; sleeves were sealed with a black & white sticker.

A regular edition of Pulling Punches in the same sleeve and with the same cat# was issued without sticker & postcards.

Although side A is listed as Extended, and side B is listed as Remix, the same versions appear on the album.

    Beware of this release. Both the A and B sides are identical to the versions on the LP, Brilliant Trees, and so are not extended remixes as indicated on the sleeve. The postcards inserted are also not all that interesting (just some doodles of Sylvian's head on cheap looking bits of paper).

    The songs are lovely, of course, but if you want those I suggest you buy Brilliant Trees and get a few more of the same.
