Source-derived summary

The International Tracks is a 1984 EP collecting various singles and remixed tracks by Juluka, a South African band led by Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu. The songs on this album had all been previously released internationally but not in South Africa; hence the title. The cover is the same as Stand Your Ground but with a slightly different track listing, including two dance mixes and excluding four songs previously released on the 1983 album Work for All.
