NOTES:

The Two-Fold Aspect of Everything was initially issued as a double album on vinyl on Cocteau Records (the first of just two releases in the Cocteau Collectors series). The double vinyl was condensed into a single CD for UK release, removing tracks that had been issued as bonus cuts on the CD versions of Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam and The Love That Whirls (both 1986) and/or included on Duplex (1989)

​

​

All editions of this compilation are out of print, but half of the original double album is available on the following reissues:
Quit Dreaming  (Mercury, 2005): contains A2, A3, B4, C2, D1, D2 and D6.
