    3. "Barbakane" – 18:04
    4. "Horizon" – 21:10

    ) and "Rare Bird" respectively, and the second section of "Barbakane" is titled "Warsaw in the Sun". There are also further, less known official and unofficial names for some other sections of the album, too. It was also available as a limited edition Picture Disc which feature the cover photos directly on the LPs' vinyl.

    Out of twelve CD releases, only two have the complete album, all others are either missing "Tangent" or have a truncated version of "Barbakane."

    • (1984) Jive/Teldec 8.28638
    • (1984) Relativity 88561-8045-2


    The second is a double-CD release, copyrighted 1984 by Zomba Ent. Inc., Made in the U.S., and apparently difficult to find. On disk one, "Rare Bird", originally an encore, is split off from "Tangent" as a track on its own. The CD artwork, however, lists "Tangent" as a single full-length track.
