- enhanced 3CD edition (2001)

Comments: the 2001 re-issue had the same track listing as the 1997 version, but the first 5000 copies of this re-issue came with a third, enhanced bonus CD (visual only, it features "It's A Kind Of Magic" & "All The Young Dudes"). It also corrected the track marking issues that troubled the 1997 edition. Note that NMC also compiled a sought after promo only CD with highlights from the 2CD set.
