Europe“This version has the correct track listing and track lengths for disc 2 (16 tracks) printed on the artwork and disc. The version with the incorrect track listing for disc 2 (17 tracks) can be found here: [r=1995452] Disc 1 is the original album Disc 2 tracks 2-1 to 2-9 are alternative takes 2-7 and 2-8 not listed as "instrumental" alternative takes on the artwork 2-10 to 2-12 are unfinished demos 2-13 is the single version 2-14 to 2-16 were recorded live on 25 March 1974 in Paris 2-11 Never Say Never is listed as When It's Dark on the discs and booklet and cover. It's confusing as there is another John Martyn song by the same name on his Glorious Fool album.
