Notes

Different running order to the information on label Side A that has "For Science" as A2. The actual A2 track is a conversation between undisclosed individuals that talk about They Might Be Giants' answering machine service. The track title is still left void on the Then: The Earlier Years compilation placed as 1-23.

B2 is titled "Kiss Me Son Of God (Alternate Version)" on later compilations. The track was later reworked for the second album "Lincoln".
