Mastering information:
Track 1-1 is a digital clone (0.5 dB quieter) of the corresponding track on [r841024 (Time-Life R988-01, 1994), which in turn uses the same analog transfer (basically, it tracks extremely closely without being a digital clone) as the corresponding track on [r15001531 (Rhino R2 70678, 1992).
Track 1-2 is a digital clone (2.51 dB quieter) of the corresponding track on [r2222515 (7-CD set, Time-Life R102-34, 1993), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [m319205 (Arista ARCD-8680, 1991).
Track 1-3 is a digital clone (1.5 dB quieter) of the corresponding track on [r562952 (Rhino R2 71701, 1994).
Track 1-4 is a digital clone (with EQ adjustment) of the corresponding track on [r7374851 (Sandstone D233042-2, 1992).
Track 1-5 is a digital clone (with EQ adjustment) of the corresponding track on [m69626 (Elektra 60464, 1985).
Track 1-6 is a digital clone (digitally identical) of the corresponding track on [r841130 (Time-Life R988-03, 1994), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [r1555366 (Priority P2 53705, 1992), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [r2187129 (US CD release with 5:09 version of the song, Capitol 46009).  The Thomas Dolby CD has a full dynamic range.  The Priority disc is mastered too loud and clips quite a bit.  The Time-Life discs reduce the volume but still show the clipped peaks from the Priority mastering.
Track 1-7 is a digital clone (with EQ adjustment) of the corresponding track on [r634683 (EMI/Virgin/PolyGram CD NOW 1983, released 1993).
Track 1-8 is a digital clone (1 dB louder) of the corresponding track on [r841130 (Time-Life R988-03, 1994), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [m265510 (EMI 94975, 1990) and [m109732 (EMI 81417, 1993).
Track 1-9 is a digital clone (7 dB louder) of the corresponding track on [m48690 (A&M CD-4906, released 1984), but starts on a cold downbeat and cuts off the 5-second cross-fade from the previous song.
Track 1-10 is a digital clone (digitally identical) of the corresponding track on [r1838709 (Mercury, copyright 1983).
Track 1-11 is a digital clone (digitally identical) of the corresponding track on [r705718 (The Right Stuff, 1993).
Track 1-12 is a digital clone (digitally identical) of the corresponding track on [r705718 (The Right Stuff, 1993).
Track 2-1 has an unknown mastering history.
Track 2-2 is a digital clone (digitally identical) of the corresponding track on [r4771603 (JCI 3149, 1995), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [r7592853 (Silver Eagle/Warner Special Products OPCD-4523, 1990).  This track plays about 0.6% too fast on these CDs.
Track 2-3 is a digital clone (0.1 dB louder) of the corresponding track on [m69628 (Sire 25664, 1987).
Track 2-4 is a digital clone (4 dB louder) of the corresponding track on [m247706 (Rhino 71698, 1994).

Track 2-6 uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [r2979276 (Priority 53765, 1993).  The left and right channels are swapped on these CDs.

Track 2-8 is a digital clone (digitally identical) of the corresponding track on [r841130 (Time-Life R988-03, 1994), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [r4546478 (EMI 95843, 1991).
Track 2-9 is a digital clone (with EQ adjustment) of the corresponding track on [r3159496 (Priority 7076, 1992).
Track 2-10 is a digital clone (1 dB louder) of the corresponding track on [r1883094 (Priority 7994, 1990), which in turn uses the same analog transfer as the corresponding track on [r87298 (Jive 1034, 1991).
Track 2-11 is a digital clone (with EQ adjustment) of the corresponding track on [r843889 (Time-Life R988-16, 1996).
Track 2-12 is a digital clone (with EQ adjustment and possibly some added compression/limiting) of the corresponding track on [r402631 (Polydor 847 249-2, 1990).
