Side one and two as per original vinyl edition
"Social Secs", later renamed "Wasting Time", is the original version of "Yellowcake UF6", before it was reversed and the vocals taken out, and becoming the B-side of the "Nuclear Device (The Wizard of Aus)" single in 1979. The original riff also resurfaced on "Do the European" from bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel's solo album Euroman Cometh, which he was working on at the time.
