Overview

edit

The compilation was originally released in the United States as an EP featuring seven songs (Epic CD 49K-73593). Of these, the title track is presented twice: in its original version from the album London Warsaw New York and also in a new mix (subtitled "Brave New Mix"). The other tracks include Phil Harding remixes of two other songs from London Warsaw New York: "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" and "Cruising for Bruising", an alternative version of "From Now On", first available on Basia's 1986 single "Run for Cover", and two non-album songs, "Masquerade" and "Come to Heaven", previously available only as B-sides on singles "Baby You're Mine" and "Cruising for Bruising", respectively. A later release of the album (Epic CD EK 48644) added two more songs, "Give Me That" and "Forgive and Forget", previously unavailable on the US market and only released as B-sides in Europe and Japanese edition of Time and Tide.[2] The compilation wasn't available in Japan, where instead the new mix of "Brave New Hope" was released as a CD single, backed with the remix of "Until You Come Back to Me".[3]
