It has the same tracks with slightly different names and in a different order to the US release.
- "Bon Song"
- "1401"
- "Booze Tobacco"
- "Helicopter"
"1401" is the true name of "The Colored FBI Guy", as it is always used on set lists. The name is a reference to the address of the house that Butthole Surfers lived in at the time.[2]
