Note: the ‘Kirsty MacColl’ edition was part reissue, part compilation containing as it does three songs from the scrapped second album, replacing three songs from the original.
They could have added as bonus tracks the other songs from the Polydor era. Everything fits on one single CD, I think:
Keep Your Hands Off My Baby
I Don’t Need You
There’s a Guy Works Down the Truck Stop Swears He’s Elvis
Over You
You Still Believe in Me
Queen of the High Teas
