Its follow-up US single was "[Red Skies](/source/Red_Skies)". Both songs were aided by popular [MTV](/source/MTV) music videos. ==Track listing== ''Shuttered Room'' has been released in a number of different configurations. Though the front cover artwork remains consistent across the releases, the tracks, track order, and even the credits can vary from release to release. ===Original UK track listing (MCA Records FX 1001)=== The UK version differs from the US (and later CD) release in a number of respects, including the fact that all the songs are credited to Curnin/West-Oram/Woods/Greenall/Barrett, with lyrics attributed to [Cy Curnin](/source/Cy_Curnin) only. ;Side 1 #"Some People" – 3:01 #"[Stand or Fall](/source/Stand_or_Fall)" – 4:00 #"Cameras in Paris" – 3:52 #"Shuttered Room" – 2:47 #"The Fool" – 5:21 ;Side 2 #"Lost Planes" – 3:23 #"I Live" – 4:53 #"Sinking Island" – 3:16 #"Time in a Glass" – 3:32 #"[Red Skies](/source/Red_Skies)" – 4:20 ===US track listing=== On the US LP and subsequent CD version, "Sinking Island" and "Time in a Glass" are replaced by "I Found You" and "The Strain", both of which were previously released as UK B-side tracks (of the "Some People" and "Stand or Fall" singles, respectively), and the track order is resequenced. All songs are credited as being written by Charlie Barrett, [Cy Curnin](/source/Cy_Curnin), Rupert Greenall, and Jamie West-Oram, except where noted. ;Side 1 #"I Found You" – 3:38 #"Some People" – 3:00 #"[Stand or Fall](/source/Stand_or_Fall)" – 4:00 #"The Strain" (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Adam Woods) – 3:33 #"[Red Skies](/source/Red_Skies)" – 4:19 ;Side 2 #"Lost Planes" – 3:20 #"Cameras in Paris" – 3:57 #"I Live" (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods) – 4:52 #"Shuttered Room" (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods) – 2:46 #"The Fool" – 5:20 A reissued CD version added two tracks, (including "Sinking Island", although this is the 'Special Extended Dance Mix' originally released as the B-side on the "[Red Skies](/source/Red_Skies)" 12" single, and a 1994 remix of "Stand or Fall"): #"Sinking Island" [*] (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods) – 4:33 #"Stand or Fall" (Extended Mix) [*] (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods) – 4:48 ===1996 European CD reissue (Repertoire REP 4598-WY)=== The 1996 European CD compiles all the tracks from the various issues onto one CD. #"Sinking Island" (Special Extended Dance Mix) – 4:32 #"I Found You" – 3:38 #"Some People" – 3:00 #"Stand or Fall" – 4:00 #"Red Skies" – 4:20 #"Lost Planes" – 3:20 #"Cameras in Paris" – 3:57 #"I Live" – 4:53 #"Shuttered Room" – 2:46 #"The Fool" – 5:21 #"Time in a Glass" – 3:27 #"The Strain" – 3:33 #"Stand or Fall" (Extended Mix) – 4:52 ==Personnel== *[Cy Curnin](/source/Cy_Curnin) – [vocals](/source/Singing) *Adam Woods – [percussion](/source/percussion_instrument), [drums](/source/Drum_kit) *Rupert Greenall – [keyboards](/source/keyboard_instrument) *Jamie West-Oram – [guitar](/source/guitar) *Charlie Barrett – [bass](/source/bass_guitar) '''Production''' *Producer: [Rupert Hine](/source/Rupert_Hine) *Engineer: Stephen W Tayler *Remastering: David Bard *Sequencing: David Bard *Design: Chris Parker *Photography: Chris Parker *Repackaging: Ken Davis ==Charts== {| class="wikitable" !Chart (1982–83) !Peak
