Two significant differences from the original release:
Track A1, "The Fuse" has a alternate 'cold' ending, different from the long fade of the original release. This was also used on the initial standard CD release from Asylum.
Track B4, "The Pretender" is a shorter version, missing the entire second verse (similar to the single edit) with an actual length of approximately 5:09, instead of the 5:50 listed on the label. This was also used on some reissues of the LP from Asylum.

Damian (guitar, vijuella, background vocals); Waddy Wachtel (guitar); Roberto Gutierrez (guitaron, violin, background vocals); Arthur Gerst (harp, background vocals); Chuck Finley, Dick Hyde, Quitman Dennit (horns); Roy Bittan, Craig Doerge (piano); Mike Utley (organ); Bob Glaub, Chuck Rainey, Leland Sklar (bass); Russell Kunkel, Jeff Porcaro (drums); Gary Coleman (percussion); Rosemary Butler, Jon Landau (background vocals); Albert Lee, Jim Horn, Billy Payne, John David Souther.Recorded at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, California. Includes a poem by Pablo Neruda.Jackson Browne was one of the leading singer/songwriters of the '70s, and THE PRETENDER, his fourth album, under the supervision of Bruce Springsteen's producer, Jon Landau, remains his definitive '70s record. Part of the cadre of L.A. musicians that included the Eagles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt, Browne stood out as the spokesman for baby boomer angst. This low-key rocker sings in a plaintive tone, concentrating more on lyrics than melody. But his music is complicated and off the beaten-path of standard folk-rock songwriting, sometimes sounding like the soulful Van Morrison, especially on "Your Bright Baby Blues."The title track is a scornful indictment of middle-class America, while "Linda Paloma," led by a Latin beat and harp, is a dreamy South-Of-The-Border love song. Many tracks are just plain confessional and primal. "Daddy's Tune" deals with issues regarding his father ("...make room for my 45's along beside your 78's...nothing survives, but the way we live our lives...") and is a wonderful companion to "The Only Child," a love song to his child.Lost love is a common theme, and the nostalgic "Sleep's Dark And Silent Gate" ("...I don't know what love has to do with happiness...") is yet another deep reflection into his soul. Musically, "Here Come Those Tears Again" is one of the most accessible and well-rounded songs on the album, and this time the lost lover wants to come back. The opening cut, "The Fuse," sums up his quest for salvation from his existential dilemmas. ...........
