Notes
- "Thick as a Brick (Edit #4)" consists of the section of Part I beginning with "I've come down from the upper class..." on the original album (1972).
- "A Passion Play (Edit #9)" consists of the segment identified as "Flight from Lucifer" on a March 1998 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab gold CD issue of 1973's A Passion Play - this begins at 16:58 in Part II of the current CD issue.
- "Glory Row" is now available as a bonus track on the remastered version of War Child (1974).
- "Glory Row" had been previously made available in the Spanish LP edition of Aqualung (1971) (which was not released until 1975) in place of "Locomotive Breath", which was already available in Living in the Past (1972).
