"Ride Easy" was originally available only as a B-side, on "Heat of the Moment"[2] singles, released outside of the United Kingdom, and never appeared on a studio album. In an interview, released on the Fantasia: Live in Tokyo DVD (2007), vocalist and bassist John Wetton said that "Ride Easy" was one of his favorite Asia songs.

"Lying to Yourself" was originally available only as a B-side, on "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" singles, and never appeared on a studio album. All three B-sides were released on the compilation The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982–1990) (2000).
