Notes

Limited edition 4x12" Box version of the album Diamond. Tracks are extended versions compared to standard album. A color poster and lyric sheet were also included in the box. The only tracks that were otherwise issued on a single were the extended version of "She Loved Like Diamond," which is identical to the UK 12" A-side, and the 8 minute "Chant No. 1 (re-mix)," which was later included as a B-side to the UK 12" of "Instinction." The rest of the remixed cuts were unique mixes to be found only in this box, though in 2002 tracks "Instinction" and "Coffee Club" were included in the "Reformation" 3xCD box.
