Notes

* The song "Wal To Wal" is the first recorded song on which Phil Collins used a Roland drum machine. (The first recorded Genesis song on which he used a drum machine is "Duchess".)
* Both "Don't Make Waves" and "Soho" were released as singles.
* The non-album song "Pool Room Blues" was used as a b-side to one of the singles. It is the "only" non-album Brand X song, because the other b-side, "Noddy Goes To Sweden", was used on the next album.
* Various releases of the album switch the track list with "And So To F" and "Not Good Enough".
