 Discogs is a  great place to check various releases of any album. Seems Tonic was issued in the States in 1979, featuring 2 tracks from the British debut ie  Mary of the 4th Form and Joey's On The Street Again. Pasted below is the full track listing:

A1Rat Trap5:12
A2Me And Howard Hughes3:12
A3(I Never Loved) Eva Braun4:39
A4Living In An Island4:11
A5Like Clockwork
Written-By P. Briquette*, S. Crowe*
3:44
B1Blind Date3:22
B2Mary Of The 4th Form3:34
B3Don't Believe What You Read3:08
B4She's So Modern
Written-By J. Fingers*
3:00
B5Joey's On The Street Again5:53

US version of V Deep includes Whitehall 1212, all other tracks as UK edition. This is for vinyl originals, not sure if cd's freatured different tracks. Also wonder why a really weak track like Whitehall was added- they must think the yanks are fools.smile

The vinyl copies I've checked on Discogs for the US version of Surfacing have the same track listing as the British original. The debut album in the USA is same as here also, though I think it came out in 1978 on Mercury/Ensign.

Just got the Canadian version of In The Long Grass and it surprised me a bit.It contains Rain but it has the UK versions of Drag Me Down and Lucky.I always thought the Canadian albums were the same as the U.S ones.
