The regular version has (1), (11), (4), (2), (3), (5), (7), (8), (9), (10), (13), (16), (18), (19), (22) in that order.

Notes (***): Released 22 Nov, this is something of a sequel to Trevor Horn Reimagines the Eighties, with Horn producing, Hinton arranging and an orchestra. Horn's usual 2019 crew are involved, including Hinton, Peters, Weidner, Bloor, Chase, Landau, Palmer and Soan, plus Clark and Ferrone from Dire Straits Legacy. Horn has worked with Stewart and Williams previously. The album is credited as "Produced by Trevor Horn" in big letters, although the individual track credits show the album as mostly co-produced by Horn. Some of the co-production credits look as though they may have been deals to allow covers to be recorded.

(22) is a new song. Most of the rest come from Stewart's career. There were videos for (1), (4) and (7). (HP, 23 Nov 19; updated 24 Nov 19)
