Track listing

Critical reception

Trouser Press described the album as "an uneven work". AllMusic called it "Not as spectacular as what would follow", but not without its own set of thrills."

Samples

"Stay Out Of It" samples three phrases from the Outer Limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand": "the third part of your brain... you know where it is?", "don't kill me, please... please..." and "the hand... tell me what to do".
The opening of the album is taken from newsreel footage of policemen being given instructions how to cope with Beatle fans before a Beatles concert in 1966.
