However, John Taylor was going through a divorce at the time, as well as entering drug rehab, and pulled out before the album was recorded.

Instead Bernard Edwards, the producer, played all bass parts on Living in Fear, and took over as the group's official fourth member.

John Taylor still receives writing and arranging credits on the finished album, but does not play on it, and is not listed as a group member.

The band, now officially a trio, toured in support of the album in 1996, with Guy Pratt (bass) and Luke Morley of Thunder (additional guitar) along as session musicians.

This edition features two bonus tracks, "Power Trippin'" and "Charanga", previously released on the "She Can Rock It" CD single.
