This was a planned reissue originally scheduled for 1993 which would have marked the first release of Promise Nothing on CD.

Promise Nothing mostly combines material from her debut EP A Bao A Qu and her debut album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.

We Will Meet Them Again featured words taken from a translation of Mahler's Songs On The Death Of Children. The melody for this song was also used by Virginia for the song Joy which features on the Richard Jobson album The Ballad Of Etiquette.

The melody for Angels Crying was also used as incidental music on the track A Long Absence (Un Entetien Avec Marguerite Duras) from the Les Disques Du Crépuscule compilation album The Fruit Of The Original Sin.

Love's A Lonely Place To Be was released as a single in January 1983.

The version of Soaring featured here is different from the version that originally appeared on the B-Side to Love's A Lonely Place To Be.

Futility features words taken from the Wilfred Owen poem of the same name set to music composed by Virginia. This is a remixed version of the track which features on the Mighty Reel cassette compilation (4 lines of vocals have been mixed out to allow prominence�for the oboe).

A Summer Long Since Passed had originally featured as the B-Side to the 12" version of the single Love's A Lonely Place To Be and subsequently appeared on Virginia's debut album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.

A Summer Long Since Passed was titled A Summer Long Since Past when it appeared on the album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.
