Alternate versions

In 1988, Lifesong released a CD pairing "White Music" with "Crack the Sky" on a single disc (LSCD-8801). In order to fit both albums on one CD, the songs "The Radio Cries" and "Flying" (and one track from "Crack the Sky") were omitted. In 2001, a remastered CD of "White Music" was released (Lifesong LSCD-7001). It included four bonus tracks: a 2001 re-recording of "Hot Razors in My Heart" by Palumbo and his son Ian, a demo version of "Poptown", and two outtakes—"A Girl Like Mom" and "She's So Clean".
