Remarks

• There are two versions of the 1991 debut album Seal , with differences in the mix of three songs.
• The album released in 1994 has the same title as the debut album; but it is a new album and has nothing to do with the above. to do two versions of the debut. It is also called Seal II to distinguish it .
