Note

Both studio tracks declared as demos, instead they are official single mix.
Some of the tracks about demos in Dublin 1978 are repeated and shown on back cover with different titles.
Background hiss for all demo recordings, however this edition has better quality than the others.
Some demo titles shown on the back cover may not correspond to the correct title.
