47 CD, 1 MC, 1 DCC, 2 2LP
Firstly issued in 1994, and as it is the most commercial release as all the "best of", there have been a lot of reissues since then.
 
There is a lot of track variations depending on the country of releases, as all songs haven't had the same success.
 
The LP releases (only issued in UK and Greece) have an adapted tracks order to fit all sides (check tracks listing info).
 
November 1994
The different countries issues have different track lists, the most common issues have the following track listing:
1- When we dance
2- If you love somebody set them free 3- Fields of gold
4- All this time
5- Englishman in New York
6- Mad about you
7- It's probably me
8- They dance alone (Cueca solo)
9- If I ever lose my faith in you
10- Fragile
11- We'll be together
12- Moon over Bourbon street
13- Love is the seventh wave
14- Russians
15- Why should I cry for you ?
16- This cowboy song
17- Fràgile (portuguese)
 
The version of It's probably me is the 1992 version with Eric Clapton, and is the 5'01 edited version.
 
The version of We'll be together is the Previously unreleased version from the single.
 
The version of Why should I cry for you? is the radio mix only issued on promo singles.
