Notes:

There are three known variants of this CD:

[r8854512 is likely the original pressing from 1987, with an "RE-1" in the matrix number.  (There are no known variants of this CD that lack the RE- designation.)  The RE-1 release has 23 tracks, including "To Know Him, Is To Love Him".

This release is a 1992 reissue with "RE-2" in the matrix number.  The RE-2 reissue has only 22 tracks, omitting "To Know Him, Is To Love Him" and reordering the remaining tracks.  The RE-2 reissue features drastically improved sound on nearly all tracks, likely from lower-generation source tapes.

[r22894157 is a 1993 pressing on the JCI label.  The JCI reissue has the same 22 tracks, in the same order and with the same mastering, as the RE-2 reissue.  The JCI artwork includes an additional catalog number of JCI-1058 at the bottom of the rear artwork, in the credits on the last page of the booklet, and at the 3-o'clock position on the CD.

Track durations obtained from software.
