Telling Lies (Bowie): premiered on BowieNet. The Paradox Mix, Feelgood Mix and Adam F Mix were available from resp. 11, 18 and 25-09-96 onwards. Despite the 'Internet-only' presentation of the song, first a double promo 12" (Arista LIES 1A) was released (on which the Paradox Mix and Feelgood Mix were called A Guy Called Gerard Mix and Bowie Mix respectively), followed by a limited edition 12" (BMG/RCA 74321397411) and CD-single (RCA/BMG 74321397412).

That's How Strong My Love Is (Jamison): performed on Iggy's 1977 US tour with Bowie on piano. According to several sources, Bowie once joined Iggy in a duet, at San Francisco, Berkeley Theatre, 13-04-77, segueing this song into 'Fame'. Live tapes and a release on the bootleg Lebensgross (Knall Den Bebck 1982) prove, however, that Iggy is the only singer.

That's Where My Heart Is (Jones): an early demo from 1965, released on Early On.

Thursday's Child (Bowie/Gabrels): the first single to be released from the hours... album. BowieNet members were given the opportunity to decide which version would be released on single by choosing from three mixes. Two of these were eventually released: a Radio Edit (Virgin 7243 8 96265 2 0) and a Rock Mix (Virgin 7243 8 96266 0 5). The single edit is simply called Edit on the EC CD-single (Virgin 7342 8 96268 2 7), but is included as Radio Edit on Best Of Bowie. The Omikron: The Nomad Soul game uses a version that slower compared to the hours... version (5'35" vs. 5'23"). This version was released as Omikron: The Nomad Soul Slower Version on the 2004 Limited 2CD Edition of hours..., which also featured the Rock Mix. In the game, also an Easy Listening Version is supposed to appear (according to the booklet of several localized versions), but this is incorrect. An in-house promo CDR supplied to the makers of the games featured separate instrumental and vocals takes of an early version of the song. The video clip is available on the CD-single (Virgin 7243 8 96266 0 5/VSCDX 1753) and the Best Of Bowie DVD. Performed live during the promotional tour for the hours... album (Paris, Elysée Montmartre, 14-10-99 appeared on the 'Survive' CD-single (Virgin 7243 8 96487 0 6)), in 1999, and in New York, Roseland Ballroom, 16-06-00.
