Alternate versions

In 1988, Lifesong released a CD pairing Crack the Sky with White Music on a single disc (LSCD-8801). In order to fit both albums on one CD, the song "Mind Baby" and two tracks from White Music were omitted. In 2002, a remastered CD of Crack the Sky was released. It included four bonus tracks: demo versions of "Let Me Go Home (A Visit to the Projects)", "Eileen, I Lean on You", and "Hold On"; and "Dr. Octopus Part 2" from the Spider-Man: Rock Reflections of a Superhero album. The song "Sleep" fades out more than a minute earlier than the original LP version. Liner notes include track-by-track comments by original producer and long-time CTS compatriot, Terence P. Minogue.
