Notes:

This box-set is presented with the four CDs in mini-LP style paper sleeves, and an accompanying 48 page book that traces the development of the album with rare memorabilia and photographs, as well as extracts from interviews conducted by Daryl Easlea during 2009-2010.  The sleeve of CD1 reproduces the original vinyl album artwork exactly.

The actual title of track 2-4 is "c.r.e.e.p.".

"No Bulbs 3 (Un-Edited)" on Disc 2 (in the booklet titled "Unedited Version 2") is not identical to either version on the [r373400 EP or accompanying 7", nor the version on [m38928. 
From :
"For those of you who notice this sort of thing, there’s going to be a deliberate mistake on The Fall’s ‘Wonderful And Frightening’ box set. It’s on the track No Bulbs. Knowledgeable Fall fans (they know this sort of thing, you know) are aware there are two versions of the track – a long version (7m 50s) on the Call For Escape Route EP and an edited version that appeared on the 7” single (BEG 120A) which was called No Bulbs 3 and is also included on The Fall’s A Sides compilation.

That earlier compilation was created using the ‘cutting master’ tapes – that is the tapes that incorporate all the compression and levels that were used on the original vinyl cut. Since CD doesn’t have the sonic limitations of vinyl when it comes to mastering, it’s best to use the studio tapes (studio master) before they were worked on for the vinyl. Thus we re-mastered from the tape shown above, which, as you can see, indicates that the ‘short version + edits’ take of ‘No Bulbs’ is BEG 120A – the 7” track. Except, of course, this being The Fall, it’s not. It’s actually 30 seconds longer than the 7” edit. For whatever reason, when they came to cut the track, it was decided to do a further edit – probably why the final track was called No Bulbs 3.
On the omnibus box set we’re sticking with the un-edited edited version – possibly the missing No Bulbs 2!"
