Notes
- With just a rhythm track and vocals, Oliver's Army was almost dropped from the album and relegated to being a b-side, but then Steve came up with the ABBA-esque piano intro.
- The production on My Funny Valentine was incorrectly credited to Nick Lowe on initial copies. Also, the performer of the track was corrected to just EC.
