  • Although "Be Stiff" is labeled as being the "Booji Boy version," it is the official studio recording, produced by Brian Eno and originally issued on a Stiff Records 7" single. (The track was reissued on the Be Stiff EP in 1977.)
  • Although "Jocko Homo" is labeled as being the "Booji Boy version," it is not the original Booji Boy single version. It is the original demo featured in the short film The Truth About De-Evolution and also released on Hardcore Devo: Volume One.
