The selection includes several album tracks, with only three singles ("Life on Mars?", "Loving the Alien" and "Time Will Crawl"). In addition, the version of "Time Will Crawl" included on the album is a remix by engineer Mario J. McNulty,[4] featuring several newly recorded parts in an effort to revisit some of the material Bowie had released as part of Never Let Me Down, an album with which he was disappointed.
It is the only release to contain the track "Some Are" which has been unavailable since the mid-1990s deletion of the 1991 edition of Bowie's 1977 album Low on which it was included as a bonus track. It also features the medley of "Sweet Thing" and "Candidate", and the reprise of "Sweet Thing" as a single track, rather than being split up by song as it has been released on previous CD versions of Diamond Dogs.
It also includes a teaser track combining the "Intro" track and "Hang On to Yourself" from Live Santa Monica '72, an official rerelease of the bootleg album Santa Monica '72.
