Time and Tide / Forgive and Forget
(First promotional issue.  Sleeve has a metallic gold ink promo stamp embossed on the back.  This sleeve also features the alternate "Time and Tide" LP cover graphics described above.  This record is exceedingly rare, as it was recalled for re-pressing once the final LP design was chosen.  The single's sleeve was re-designed, and the record re-pressed, with a **very** slightly different catalogue number, as detailed below.)
1987

Epic (Australia) 651471 7
Time and Tide / Forgive and Forget
(Second promotional issue.  Sleeve has a metallic gold ink promo stamp embossed on the back.  This is the re-designed single, utilizing the UK typeface design, and LP graphics.)
1987

BASH-T2
New Day For You (extended version)/
New Day For You (instrumental)/ 
Forgive and Forget
(12" single.  This is Basia's final release on the Portrait label, which was subsequently folded into the Epic group of companies.  In a move that would become increasingly familiar in Basia's discography (owing to a distinct lack of additional material), "Forgive and Forget" makes another appearance as a supporting "B-side" track.)
1987

 
Portrait (Australia) 650927 0
New Day For You/ Forgive and Forget
(Promotional issue.  Sleeve has a metallic gold ink promo stamp embossed on the back.  In addition to being Basia's first Australian solo release, significantly, this sleeve also features an alternate un-used design for the "Time and Tide" LP sleeve, which combines elements of an early European sleeve with portions of the US cover layout (see detail).  This interesting idea was eventually discarded, in favor of the original UK LP graphics.)

Epic (UK) 
BASH QT4
Promises (French Mix) / Give Me That / Promises (album mix)
(Highly unusual 10" white-vinyl pressing of the single, which is additionally double-grooved on the "A" side (a process in which a second set of grooves is nestled between the primary set, meaning that either "Promises" or "Give Me That" might be played when the needle was dropped, depending upon which set of grooves the needle settled into into.)                              Because of its extremely odd manufacture, this record is highly prized by Basia collectors.)

Baby You're Mine (Berimbau Mix)
(Unique remix of this track, only available on this 12" single, and its UK counterpart.  The "A-side" is a somewhat "stripped down" mix of the track (though not as unadorned as the more wided available "Street Version"); the track derives its mix name from the prominent use of a berimbau, a traditional Brazilian string-and-bow rhythm instrument, toward the end of the song.  No performance credit is noted for the berimbau artist.)
