Notes
- Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo is from the King Of America sessions.
- Initial copies of the 7" single included a free copy of The People's Limousine 7" single.
- Get Yourself Another Fool was recorded at Eden Studios, Action.
- The single mix of Get Yourself Another Fool has a 3 note guitar into, the vocals are drenched in echo, and the track fades out at the end. The CD single incorrectly uses the alternate mix from the Ryko Goodbye Cruel World.
- The live Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is from a WNEW-FM Morning Show live broadcast from the Heartbreak, New York, NY, 1986-02-11.
