Track listing notes:

• "Superman" was listed on some early copies as "Superwoman."
• The track listing on the back of the album is incorrect. It has never been corrected. The order is given as 1-5-10-8-2-7-4-9-3-11, which leaves out "Superman" and "Underneath the Bunker." The track listing is correct on the actual vinyl, cassette, and some CD versions.
• Early pressings of the CD have the track number for "Cuyahoga" as "0R" instead of "04" printed on the CD itself.
• On the vinyl and cassette releases, R.E.M. labeled side one (tracks 1-6) as the "Dinner side" and side two (tracks 7-12) as the "Supper side."
• The UK 1993 release for 'IRS Years Vintage 1986' preserves the incorrect track order, but lists the unreleased tracks.
