Notes
Disc one:
- "Assault and Battery" and "The Golden Void" were renamed for publishing purposes. However, in renaming the tracks, their titles were erroneously transposed.
- Although "Heads" forms the middle section of "Time We Left (This World Today)", it is banded as a separate track on the CD.
- "Damnation Alley" has a different middle section to the Quark, Strangeness and Charm studio version, this one being a reggae influenced piece that would be worked into "The Camera That Could Lie" from It Is the Business of the Future to Be Dangerous album.
