Notes

• The song "Wal to Wal" is the first recorded song on which Phil Collins used a Roland drum machine. (The first recorded Genesis song on which he used a drum machine is Duchess.)
• Both "Don't Make Waves" and "Soho" were released as singles.
• The non-album song "Pool Room Blues" was used as a b-side to one of the singles. It is the only non-album Brand X song, because the other b-side, "Noddy Goes to Sweden", was used on the next album.
• Various releases of the album switch the track list with "...And So to F..." and "Not Good Enough - See Me!"
