Notes
- For contractual reasons the backing band Clover are called The Shamrocks on this release.
- This record was commonly known simply as A Bunch Of Stiffs.
- This version of Less Than Zero is a slightly different mix than either the version on My Aim Is True or the single (BUY 11).
Like the single it doesn't have the theremin-like organ in the chorus which is on the My Aim Is True version, but where the single has those fuzz-toned/distorted chords in the chorus, this version has them softened & buried in the mix. Also, you can hardly hear the guitar fill during the fade-out.
- Album subtitle: "Undertakers To The Industry – If They're Dead - We'll Sign 'Em"
- The Takeaways line-up: Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Sean Tyla, Larry Wallis
- Etched in the runoff for side 1 is: surfing with the new wave, side 2: a porky prime cut
