Notes

  • This box is comprised of the 5 singles from MCIS, with 3 of them being the extended European versions. BWBW, originally a 2-tracker, now contains an additional 5 cover songs exclusive to this box:

    "You're All I've Got Tonight" (The Cars)
    "Clones (We're All)" (Alice Cooper)
    "A Night Like This" (The Cure)
    "Destination Unknown" (Missing Persons)
    "Dreaming" (Blondie)

    It comes packaged in a black-and-white "retro-45 RPM carrying case", and contains a 44-page booklet with pictures and a very basic discography.

  • The wrong font is used for the last letter of the "Destination Unknown" track listing on the back of the BWBW single.
