European CD - WEA 9 26390-2
A collection of the Ride and Play EPs, though the sound quality is inferior to the original EPs. It was first released in the US but sold well as an import in Europe and the UK so it was eventually released there as well. The Warner (WEA) release has a different sleeve and was withdrawn soon after release when it was discovered that they did not hold the right to release it in Europe. The US cassette also has a slightly different cover.

All of these songs are shorter than the Live Light versions. From Time To Time is nearly a minute shorter. Twisterella and Drive Blind are only a second or two shorter than the versions on the double LP. Magical Spring simply cuts out some of the between song noise. This CD was available from Mutiny for a short time and was given away free with the purchase of the Live Light CD.
