X1 & X2:
Original Releases

Below is a listing of the most common releases of each of the tracks found in X1 & X2. Of those tracks, only a few are unavailable on CD anywhere else: The Master and Servant Black and Blue Mix, the Are People People? mix of People are People, and the live recordings of If You Want, Shame, and Blasphemous Rumours (available on the cassette single of Question of Lust only.)

The releases labled Singles Box Set Release (1991) are those from the Singles Boxes 1, 2 and 3, plus the four 'unboxed' re-releases: Strangelove, Never Let Me Down Again, Behind The Wheel, and Everything Counts (Live). Most of these are individually available in DigiPac cases.

Due to the mistakes in the liner notes for Disc 7 and 8, I have confirmed the actual track dates by personaly comparing the tracks to the original releases, with help from the Music Collector article.

Three other tracks are of note: On Disc 3, Get The Balance Right, Stripped and the Hands and Feet mix of Enjoy The Silence are all slightly different from the regular releases. Finally, Now This is Fun and Christmas Island on Disc 5 and 6 respectively are also slightly different.
