Notes
- The included version of "Johnny Panic" is not the original 1990, B-side version, but the remix produced by Fluke, which was released in 1991 as a single in its own right. The original can be heard on the B-side of "Advice for the Young at Heart" and also on the remastered CD of The Seeds of Love.
- The included version of "Tears Roll Down" is the original B-side from 1989, not the later "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)" version which was a hit single in 1992.
- Although this album was released after Raoul and the Kings of Spain, it contains none of the various B-sides recorded around the time of that album as Tears for Fears had switched record labels by that time.
- "Ashes to Ashes" is from the NME charity album Ruby Trax.
- This album came out before the remastered Tears for Fears albums which had many of the B-sides added. It is unclear if the tracks on Saturnine are remastered or not.
