"Barbakane" was shortened to 13:52 on most CD reissues, in order to fit the 80-minute time restraint of the CD, and to avoid having to issue a double disc version. Out of twelve CD releases, only three issues have the complete album: * (1984) Jive/Teldec 8.28638 * (1984) Relativity 88561-8045-2, re-released in 1993 * (2011) Reactive EREACD 2018 All other issues have the truncated version of "Barbakane". Some releases remove "Tangent" altogether. It was also available as a limited edition
