Alternate tracklisting

There was an alternate pressing that separates "No Money No Honey" over tracks 7 and 8 and breaks parts of "One Foot in the Grave" and "Aphid Manure Heist" over tracks 12, 13 and 14; this caused all tracks after "Crystal Clear (Beer)" to be off from the track listing on the back cover. This pressing also omits the short snippet of dialog called "Ken", yet keeps "Bonus Noise" on the same track as "Modesto". This pressing causes some online tracklistings, such as the one at Allmusic, to be incorrect. The actual tracklisting of this pressing is as follows:
  1. "Pink Noise (Rock Me Amadeus)" – 2:57
  2. "Rowboat" – 3:45
  3. "Thunder Peel" – 1:48
  4. "Waitin' for a Train" – 1:08
  5. "The Spirit Moves Me" – 2:10
  6. "Crystal Clear (Beer)" – 2:29
  7. "Noise 1" (start of "No Money No Honey") – 0:05
  8. "No Money No Honey" – 2:07
  9. "8.6.82" – 0:37
  10. "Total Soul Future (Eat It)" – 1:48
  11. "One Foot in the Grave" – 1:57
  12. "Noise 2" (end of "One Foot in the Grave") – 0:17
  13. "Noise 3" (start of "Aphid Manure Heist") – 0:31
  14. "Aphid Manure Heist" – 0:57
