The tracks which are starred, are bonus tracks which are on certain pressings of the album.
"Everybody Knows (Except You)" was released as a single on three separate CDs, each one featuring an extra three live tracks.
The middle eight of "In Pursuit Of Happiness" was subsequently adopted as the theme for the TV series Tomorrow's World (even though the song itself is rather pessimistic and was thus at odds with the mood of the programme itself). The original version was used for one season of the show, with a specially-recorded version being substituted thereafter.
