Note: This is the tracklisting for the 1982 'Special' releases. 1981 releases had a slightly different running order with 'Christmas Fever' by Charlélie Couture and 'Christmas with Satan' by James White being replaced by 'Christmas is Coming' by The Three Courgettes and 'No More Christmas Blues' by Alan Vega.
Note: The 2004 release combines the two versions (sans the Three Courgettes track), and adds tracks by Lisi and Miss OD & Gentleman League.
