Notes

Help the Aged starts with some faint swishing sounds, perhaps to sound like a vintage vinyl recording. The album fades the swishes in, meaning that the single has uniquely loud swishes at the start; it also ends with a slightly longer fade to silence, where the album continues swiftly into This Is Hardcore. The opening swishes are cut completely from the track's appearance on the compilation Hits.

Tomorrow Never Lies is the finished version and was originally entitled "Tomorrow Never Dies", a "rough mix" appears on the 2006 deluxe edition of This Is Hardcore.
