---

The card inset for this rather unpleasantly assembled set has a multitude of grammatical and typographical errors, and some confusion about what the discs actually include.

The 'copyright' date is given as 2017, though it seems likely that this collection did not materialize until 2018. The collection claims 'promo copy' - but this is almost certainly a thinly veiled cover for a bootleg.

Notes:

*Disc 1 includes a Track 37, which sounds as though it might be the master of  That’s My Desire.

**Disc 2 Track 24 is  Because I Love You , NOT Now We’re One.

**Disc 2 Track 25 is It’s Not My Fault, NOT Now Were One (Diff Version).
