  • This album came out before the re-mastered TFF albums, which had many of the B-sides, added. It is indistinct if the tracks on Saturnine are re-mastered or not.
  • The version of “Johnny Panic”, which is included the track is not the original B-side version, but the remix produced by Fluke, it was released as a single in 1991 in its own right. The original can be heard on the B-side of “Advice For The Young At Heart” and also on the re-mastered The Seeds Of Love CD.
  • “Ashes to Ashes” is from the NME charity album Ruby Trax.
  • Even though this album was released after Raoul and the Kings of Spain, it contains none of the B-sides from that album as Tears for Fears had switched record labels by that time.
  • The included version of “Tears Roll Down” is the original B-side from 1989, not the later “Laid So Low” version from 1992.
