Notes: A live compilation given away in two parts: disc 1 was included with The Daily Mail on 19 Mar and disc 2 with The Mail on Sunday on 20 Mar. Disc 1 came in a fold-out cardboard sleeve with space for and details about disc 2, while disc 2 came in its own simple cardboard sleeve with details only for itself. The majority of the tracks are licensed from Sanctuary Records Ltd. or Eagle Rock Entertainment Ltd.

Track 12 consists of 11:14 of the song, then silence, then at 19:06 a series of songs starts—studio recordings that I can't identify, I think by different acts—but they are very quiet. (Second song begins at 23:24 and the third begins at 27:04.) (HP, 21 Mar 05)
