The Definitive should not be confused with The Definitive Collection, a double-disc compilation album released by Foreigner in 2006.
The liner notes are unclear as to whether the included versions are singles or album cuts. Some track lengths differ from those listed under individual Wiki entries and so may be edits of those songs.
