March 1996
     
38 CD, 2 rare MC, 2 LP

There is two different design for this album :

- Some issues come with black & white - purple pictures & gold writting (call gold design here).

- The other with brown picture and purple writting (call purple design here).

All that is brown on an issue is purple on the other one.
 
The USA & Canada realeses exclude the track "Twenty five to midnight".
 
1. The hounds of winter
2. I hung my head
3. Let your soul be your pilot
4. I was brought to my senses
5. You still touch me
6. I'm so happy I can't stop crying
7. All four seasons
8. Twenty five to midnight
9. La belle dame sans regret
10. Valparaiso
11. Lithium sunset
My favourit items are the French sampler in special sleeve & e Virgin japanese metal box set issue.
