US version[]
Released on Arista Records, the American version of the Forever Faithless CD does not include "Fatty Boo", but is an enhanced disc with a bonus music video of the 2005 version of "Why Go".
Initial US pressings contained MediaMax CD-3 copy protection, but this was abandoned after the 2005 Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal.
Song versions[]
Except "Insomnia" and "Salva Mea", the chart versions of each song are included, not the full-length versions. This was necessary to fit all the tracks into 1 hour 20 minutes.
