"Evil Eyes" is the version re-recorded for The Last in Line LP, rather than the original recording, which was the B-side to the "Holy Diver" single.

"Hide In The Rainbow", from The Dio E.P. (EP), had not been released on an album before.

The 1992 Vertigo label (UK) has track 8 listed as "Sacred Children" instead of "Sacred Heart" on the back cover of some releases (bar code 7 31451 22062 3). However, the correct title remains on the disk and in the album booklet.
