Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Original US release with no bar code.
Additional track information:
- "Angels Never Run" must have been written significantly earlier, because it is included in a live set from 1981, that was released with the live box set Metal Will Never Die - The Official Bootleg Box Set 1981-2010 in 2022.
- "Born To Rock" and "Cold Sweat And Blood" were firstly released as live tracks on the live album Live in 1983.
- "The Music Man" is an instrumental. More exactly, it's a harmonica solo of Al Falso and a completely different song than "Music Man" on the album Rock Hard.
"Communication Breakdown" is a cover of Led Zeppelin.
