Notes:
  - All tracks are composed by EC, except where otherwise stated.
  - The times for CD tracks are taken from the CD player display, while for
    vinyl it is taken from the label or cover. In the case of records on the
    Stiff label these times are to be taken with a pinch of salt! 
   (e.g: On A02 "Alison" is over 3 mins. long and not 2:00 as stated on label).
