English titles

My copy of this album has mostly Chinese text, but provides the following English translations for the track titles:

1. Perversity

2. Happy Together

3. Bored [same as what is already shown]

4. Hangout

5. Another Paradise

6. Unwilling

7. Fussy

8. Nostalgia

9. Infatuation

10. Silver Lining

As an English reader, I would expect to see these listed, since they actually are printed on the CD insert, instead of or in addition to any "unofficial" translations.

I might edit the table so as to include these apparently "official" translations, unless there is some objection. Richard K. Carson (talk) 00:58, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@Richard K. Carson: thanks for making the changes, and for stating where they came from. My copy does not have any English translations in the CD liner. I'm pretty sure mine is an EMI original; the cover image is the "leaning forward" image, as described on Josh Cheung's site.[1]

Does your copy show any sign of being a later edition?

Some of the titles make good sense, e.g. "Silver Lining" rather than "Cloud's Edge". However, "Perversity" does not seem right for the first song, whose title literally means "Anaesthesia". "Perversity" might even be a careless mistake where "Perfection" should rather have been used, as that is the first word of the song.[2] – Fayenatic London 07:36, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Upon closer inspection, I see that my copy is the Japanese version shown here: [[3]] Only a small part is in Chinese, the rest in Japanese, so the English translations might be questionable. Richard K. Carson (talk) 01:49, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I see that I copied this in June 2007 from the article Faye Wong. It might have been originally contributed there by Lasersharp (talk · contribs) or Jason Gervais (talk · contribs); we'd have to check the page history. I remember one of them told me he added info that he remembered from Hong Kong newspapers or magazines, but didn't always have a citation at hand. – Fayenatic London 16:36, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
