Notes:
The "Barrel Of A Gun" (Video) and "It's No Good" (Video) selections on the original UK CD single are enhanced video features on the CDs.
The single "Useless" was not released on it's own in the United States. The U.S. label paired up tracks from "Home" and "Useless" for a double-'A'-side single. They did, however, make promotional CDs of "Useless" for radio.
CD Recordable single #1 was shipped a few weeks before the standard CD single (silver), to the key U.S. radio stations. The second CD-R, however, was only used for in house purposes at Reprise Records (approval of mixes, et cetera). This explains why some of the mixes on it are different from the released versions.
A rundown on the mixes for these CDs:
Edit (CD Single) - Exclusive to the US CD.
Useless (Album Version) (CD Single) - the album version.
Radio Version (CD-R #1) - actually the Alan Moulder / Daniel Miller mix (on "The Singles 86>98" CD).
CJ Bolland Ultrasonar Edit (CD-R #1) - same as the "Remix" on the commercial CD single.
Useless (CJ Bolland Ultrasonar Extended Mix - Full Vocal) (CD-R #2) - same as released mix.
Useless (CJ Bolland Funky Sub Mix 3 - Club) (CD-R #2) - same as released mix.
Useless (Barry Adamson Remix) [7:15] (CD-R #2) - same as released mix.
Useless (Kruder & Dorfmeister Remix) (CD-R #2) - Exclusive longer version (by close to a minute).
Useless (Cosmic Blues Edited Mix) (CD-R #2) - Exclusive longer version. Features samples of "Enjoy The Silence" not in the released mix.
