[edit] Editions

Initial quantities of the album included a limited edition 4 track EP, Live, recorded at Wembley Arena during the farewell tour of 1982. Featuring the tracks "Get Yourself Together", "Move On Up", "The Great Depression" and "But I'm Different Now", the EP is notable for the fact that these songs were never re-issued on any other Jam compilation.
In 2006, Universal Records released Snap! in its entirety on CD for the first time - prior to this, it had only been available in edited format as as single CD, Compact Snap!, containing only 21 of the 29 tracks from the original double album.
