These 15 songs did not feature on the related original releases of each album, but were pulled in on the remastered single CD editions, depending upon the various album sessions they were recorded in.

The Complete Collection of Lisa Stanfield also includes an exclusive bonus disc, entitled "Live/Rare/Mixed", totally containing 10 more tracks, from Lisa's very first band, Blue Zone, with husband Ian Devaney and school mate Andy Morris, "There Was I", "Dirty Talk" and "The Answer" (this was never released before), the very rare B-sides "Sing It" and "Big Thing", and live recordings of "Tenderly" and of her medley "Live Together/Young Hearts Run Free" (both performed in a concert held by Lisa at Wembley in 1992, the whole performance being available on VHS).
