Notes: This promo sampler is widely available: copies appear regularly on eBay and various music collector sites. Does anyone know whether this set was given away to us civilians and not just distributed to industry insiders? A 1-disc version of the EMD Super Sampler (with a different track list from disc 1 of this set) was also circulated, but apparently in much smaller quantities.

The front inserts from both versions, however, contain identical copy: "Having helped to build today's creative and commercial climate for female artists, Liz has returned with the most powerful and confident recording of her career. Musically, the album is simultaneously ambitious and personal in nature, with a seemingly endless list of knockout songs."
