    Track listings vary between labels and formats.

    *The B-side Earth to Doris isn't included on Fontana/Phonogram editions.
    *Robot Girl appears in a shorter edit on Chrysalis editions (3:41 vs 4:04).
    *11 MPH (Abe Zapp Ruder Version) appears on some US editions, while the less synthesized original appears on non-US editions.
    *The LP does not include Robot Girl, Wedding Vows in Vegas, and I Can't Turn You Loose (and also Earth to Doris which is not on Fontana editions).

    The running orders are also shuffled between the Chrysalis, Fontana and the varying CD, cassette and LP versions.

    I'd love to know what is the band's ideal track listing.
