There appears to be a database glitch regarding this album.
A search for the singles "Stop Draggin My Heart Around" and "Leather And Lace" leads to the Bella Donna album, listed with a catalog number of Modern 38139. Clicking on the album shows these two songs as the only singles while omitting "Edge of Seventeen" and "After The Glitter Fades." Conversely, a search for "Edge of Seventeen" and "After The Glitter Fades" leads to Bella Donna, but with a catalog number of Modern 90427. Clicking on the link for this version of the album shows "Edge of Seventeen" and "After The Glitter Fades" as the only singles, while omitting "Stop Draggin My Heart Around" and "Leather And Lace."

There's an easy answer to this "glitch". The bar code number is 90427 while the printed number on the spine of the cd is 38139. I have changed all entries to reflect the number on the spine of the Bella Donna cd which is 38139.

I can explain why the catalog number on the spine and in the bar code are different for this release:
38-139 was the original LP catalog number. Modern was distributed by Atlantic/Atco, and this is actually an Atco catalog number.
In 1982, all of the Warner Music labels, including Atlantic/Atco, went to a bar code-based catalog numbering system. From that point on, newly released Atlantic albums had catalog numbers in the 80000s, and newly released albums on other labels owned or distributed by Atlantic had catalog numbers in the 90000s.
When the post-1982 system described above was adopted, older releases that were still in print were assigned numbers in the new 80000 and 90000 sequences. These numbers were only used in the bar codes, however; the pre-1982 catalog numbers continued to be used as the actual catalog numbers for these releases. The affected albums often did not have bar codes on their LP packaging at all, but cassette and CD copies of those titles will generally have the pre-1982 number on the spine, tape/disc, insert/packaging, etc., but the 80000 or 90000 series number in the bar code.
