No timing tracks listed on both sleeve and labels.

This release (like others with Boy cover) has a short (approximately 30 seconds) unlisted and uncredited track at the end of the second side after "Shadows and Tall Trees" which is a demo of Fire. The track is not separated into its own band on the vinyl though it is audibly discernible.
