Notes: 1) According to web sources, this CD album was released at least in four different content configurations the world over, plus one more edition for the iTunes market. We will go back to the specific releases in detail once I get hold of those. So far, it will suffice to list the bonus tracks that were included by country of pressing, bearing in mind that some of this info could not be verified:
US bonus track: “Little Wonders - radio version”.
Germany bonus tracks: “Years From Now”, “Remembered Well”.
Japan bonus tracks (verified): “Overrun”, “Her Diamonds - video”.
ITunes bonus tracks (verified): “Sleep Till The War Is Over”, “Believe”.
My thanks to Donnavox, who is a Rob Thomas forum member at http://boards.atlanticrecords.com/artists/robthomas/forums. According to her, the iTunes tracks come without liner notes, just like “Overrun” in its CD release as b-side for the “Her Diamonds” single. Check back for updates. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the made in Malaysia EU release on Emblem/Atlantic 756 7896812L (2009).
