Note that the Human Conflict version of "Tension" is not included on the compilation, only the re-recorded version of "Tension" that was included on Secrets of the I Ching. Other than that, all of the songs from both releases are included on this disc—even "National Education Week", which had been dropped from later pressings of Secrets of the I Ching.
