Notes


1 Talk More Talk (12” Remix)
The B-side of the UK 12” single of “Only Love Remains”. Note that on “New Moon” it fades in late (about 4 seconds) and fades out early too.

2 Tough On A Tightrope (Remix by Julian Mendelsohn)
Also on the B-side of the UK 12” single of “Only Love Remains”. Fades in slightly late which is not surprising since the single fades in quietly and hence you get surface noise. Additionally prior to being including on “New Moon” this track has been sonically adjusted (more top and less mid range and bass) to give a more “trebley” effect.

3 Let It Be – Ferry Aid
Paul’s vocals are lifted from the Beatles version. This is the 7” version

4 Let It Be – Ferry Aid
This is the 12” A-side. A

5 Let It Be – Ferry Aid
This is the 12” B-side

6 Ferry ‘Cross The Mersey
Another charity single to which Paul contributed vocals.

7 Good Sign (Groove Mix)
Although Good Sign appeared on the B-Side of the 2nd issued (UK) of “This One”, a special Groove Mix was issued as the B-side to a promo 12” – this is it. (The a-side being the commercial version).

8 Figure of Eight (CD Single version)
When issued as a single lots of overdubs were made on the album version with Paul’s new touring band. Although the version on New Moon is listed as the 7” version – it isn’t! There are 2 version of the re-recording. One version is 5’11” long and appears on the 7”, all 12” issues and on the 3” CD single. However the version that is presented on “New Moon” is the 4 minute edit which appears on the 5” CD single.

9 Ou Est Le Soleil – Shep Pettibone Edit
There are 8 different version of “Ou Est Le Soleil”. “New Moon” presents 6 of them. The original version was a bonus track on the “Flowers In The Dirt” CD. The 7" mix (see 10 below) was faded early (at 4’13”) and called the “Shep Pettibone Edit” on Capitol promo CD (DPRO 79836) and it is this short version that is this track

10 Ou Est Le Soleil – 7” mix
The 7” mix is 4’50”. From the 3” CD UK issue of “Figure of Eight” and from the double CD version of “Flowers In The Dirt” (Japan)

11 Ou Est Le Soleil – Tub Dub Mix
From the B-side of the 12” single (US and various European countries). Also on promo CD sample (US) and as the B-side of the 2nd 12” single of “Figure of Eight” (UK).

12 Ou Est Le Soleil – Instrumental Version
From the B-side of the 12” single (US and various European countries)

13 Ou Est Le Soleil – Shep Pettibone Mix
