Curator's Notes:
Beat Box (Diversion Six) was re-titled as Beat Box (Diversion Ten) in 1985 when it appeared on the single Moments In Love. Both the UK 7" (ZTPS02) & 12" of Moments In Love (12ZTPS02) list the track as Beat Box as well as on the original 1988 compilation The Best Of The Art Of Noise LP (837 367-1) & cassette (837 367-4).
 
Beat Box (Diversion Seven) remained a unique and exclusive track to this single for over twenty six years before it appeared on the 2010 compilation Influence: Hits, Singles, Moments, Treasures... where it was listed as the single version of Close (To The Edit) (ZTPS01) (which is actually a re-edit of the track). Since then it has appeared on four further Art of Noise compilation releases under the Close (To The Edit) moniker: Into Battle With The Art Of Noise in 2011, the 2013 European The Best Of, the compilation Moments In Love: The Masters Collection (2018) and the 2023 digital release Worship. The digital EP Beat Box (Diversions Zero to Seven) restores it s original title.
 
In 2014 this single was included in the various artists compilation 7" box set Zang Tuum Tumb - The Re-Organization Of Pop released as part of Record Store Day in the United States.
