US release
The North American release of Burning Bridges was issued in April 1983, retitled as Naked Eyes and released with an alternate cover.
The two deleted songs, "The Time Is Now" and "A Very Hard Act to Follow" were issued in the US as the b-sides of "Always Something There to Remind Me" and "Promises, Promises."
Naked Eyes
Additional musicians
Tony Mansfield is listed as having played "guitar" (but not "bass guitar") on the British version of the album (Burning Bridges), while on the American version (self-titled), he is listed as playing "bass guitar" (but not "guitar"). It thus seems reasonable to assume that he played both instruments on the album.
