Notes:
The single that got away!  Its planned release was abandoned after poor sales of Wonderful4,000 copies were initially pressed of each CD single.  All were destroyed...well almost all.  Only 7 copies of CD1 are believed to exist as a result of them being sent out as promo copies after the radio promo CD supplies were depleted.  They were recalled, and not all made it back.  Only TWO copies of CD 2 are known to exist. The second of which turned up on eBay and was sold with a winning bid of  £2120!

The vocals on the single version of Beautiful Dream were re-recorded and therefore not the same as on the Wonderful album.  The acoustic versions of 'Antmusic' and Wonderful later appeared on the Complete Radio 1 Sessions/Live At The BBC compilation.  Shake Your Hips was initially recorded by ex-Ant Kevin Mooney's band, Max (known earlier as Lomax).  The song writing credits to 'Antmusic' wrongly credit the Shake Your Hips writing team on CD 2. (That same sleeve also lists the last track as the Lucas Master Mix, when it in fact plays the Lucas Full Length Mix)

An 8 track DAT (digital audio tape) surfaced with one extra remix of Beautiful Dream.  Its track listing is:

01 [3:52] Beautiful Dream (single version)
02 [4:36] Lets Have A Fight
03 [3:59] Billy Boy
04 [4:58] Wonderful (Acoustic Version) (Simon Mayo BBC Session)
05 [5:05] Shake Your Hips
06 [3:27] 'Antmusic' (Acoustic Version) (Simon Mayo BBC Session)
07 [5:03] Beautiful Dream (Lucas Full Length Mix)
08 [4:03] Beautiful Dream (Lucas Master Mix)
