Not sure if the comment below should be in the release notes or not so thought it best to post as comment first.

Track 6 is the remix version of Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! as featured on Erasure ‎– Oh L'amour - Limited Edition 12 Inch Single and several other formats.

I've added images of the information sheets that were sent out with advance copies of the single. Sleeve, labels and matrix info identical to regular release.
