Issued on CD as ''The Marlene Dietrich Album'' on Sony MDK47254.
The 'live' version of "No Love, No Nothin'" in both LP and CD, is actually a studio recording with added applause, probably used to fill out the running time of the original 12" US LP.
The original studio recording without applause is on ''The Cosmopolitan Marlene Dietrich'' (Sony Music 1993) CD. The CD reissue by Sony does not include "Go 'Way from My Window" or "Das Lied ist aus".
