Track listing from the source article.
Version differences
The North American edition places "The Best of Me" as the final track on disc one, while the international edition moves that song to disc two and substitutes "All I Want Is You". On disc two, the North American edition includes two songs from the album Room Service and a re-recorded version of "When You're Gone" featuring Pamela Anderson instead of Melanie C. The international edition replaces the two Room Service tracks with "I'm Not the Man You Think I Am" (from the film Colour Me Kubrick) and "Don't Give Up" (a collaboration with Chicane), and retains the original "When You're Gone" with Melanie C. The original two-disc North American edition was remastered and reissued on September 18, 2007.
