Chart eligibility?
It's stated here that the album was not eligible for UK chart entry under the rules of the time. But what were the rules of the time? Why was it not eligible for the charts? I'm assuming it says this here because that is how it is stated on the official Erasure website, but I'm not 100% convinced this was the case - it's just that there is no INDEPENDENT chart entry details for the album. My understanding at the time was that it was just another version of "The Circus". I thought that it did no chart independently of The Circus because sales of 2 Ring were counted as sales of The Circus itself, in much the same way as sales of all the 7" and 12" editions of any one single counted towards its chart position. "The Two Ring Circus" was, in effect, just the 12" version of "The Circus". I may be wrong, and that might just have been an assumption on my part, or its release dat may have been to late after the release of The Circus for it to count this way, but some kind of verification either way would be good.

Change of emphasis: Live tracks as bonuses
I've re-written and re-structured this article to emphasise that the 7 live tracks were bonuses on the CD and cassette edition. Previously, it treated the CD as the defining version suggesting the vinyl edition left off 7 tracks, when really, based on the times, the vinyl edition would have been the defacto format.

Single releases
For now I have 'commented out' that there were no singles released from this album. I'm not sure I'd agree. As I thin kit's just a different version of The Circus album, I'd say 3 songs were released as singles! Opwerty (talk) 17:11, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
