Rejected options
An acoustic version of "Anything" (the only single that didn't make the cut) was replaced by "Can't Get Away", likely due to its short-length and to even the amount of songs from each album. Remixes of "Losing a Whole Year" and "Graduate" and a 1995 demo of "Semi-Charmed Life" were dropped in favor of the original studio recordings, likely done in order to appeal to a traditional audience. The track list was also in a different order:
- "Semi-Charmed Life"
- "Losing A Whole Year"
- "How's It Going To Be"
- "Jumper"
- "Graduate"
- "Tattoo Of The Sun"
- "Never Let You Go"
- "Deep Inside Of You"
- "Anything"
- "10 Days Late"
- "Blinded"
- "Crystal Baller"
- "My Time In Exile"
- "God Of Wine"
- "Motorcycle Drive By"
- "Forget Myself"
- "Wounded"
- "Palm Reader"
- "Slow Motion"
