The CD release contained three additional songs (tracks 13-15) as “bonus material”. When ‘Kite’ was released, CDs were still in the process of taking over from vinyl, and an extended track list would have been still fairly novel. While ‘You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet Baby” is a nice fit for the vinyl tracks, the two French language songs still sound tacked on to me.

For album commentary please see the page for the LP version.
