additional information
This release was previously part of the Rejuvenation (2001-2014) box set, which was released in December 2018. Four months later, it was issued separately.

The artwork was based on the original LP. The original gatefold design was changed to a single sleeve as Searching For The Lost Boys wasn't included.

The lyrics for Shadows And Light were included on the inner sleeve for the first time.

additional information
This release was previously part of the Rejuvenation (2001-2014) box set, which was released in March 2019. A month later, it was issued separately.



Shadows And Light was the original bonus track for the main album. Children Of The Revolution was recorded for Amazon Germany and had only previously appeared as a download.



Jim expanded on the sleeve notes he'd originally written for Rejuvenation (2001-2014) and so the version in the booklet is longer. There are two sets of notes: one for the album and one for Searching For The Lost Boys.
