Track 9 was originally only previously available as a promotional white-label 12-inch vinyl recording, having never been commercially released prior to its inclusion on this compilation.
The German version of the CD replaces "Complete Machinery" with "p:Machinery Connected", taken directly from a copy of the cassette single. As a result, the sound quality is diminished. Reference to this issue is made in the album's liner notes.
Track listing bonus DVD edit
- "Dr. Mabuse" (Version 1)
- "Dr. Mabuse" (Version 2)
Promotional videos directed by Anton Corbijn. Version 1 is a spectacular black-and-white affair featuring Claudia Brucken being stalked by Mabuse (actor Vladek Sheybal), through a dark and eerie castle full of monks. The second is studio-set, and unlike the previous video features fifth member Michael Mertens and the band's rarely-seen drummer Weet. Highlights include Andreas Thein smashing up a bathtub with hammers.
- "Duel" (Version 1)
- "Duel" (Version 2)
Promotional videos directed by John "Scarlet" Davis and Paul Morley. Identical, except that Version 1 features on-screen graphics.
- "p:Machinery"
Promotional video directed by Zbigniew Rybczyński. Filmed in a Manhattan warehouse, with Claudia performing in front of Ralf, Susanne and Michael, who are strung up on harnesses like puppets, being operated from a gantry above.

- "Duel" (TV commercial)
