Notes:

The bonus 12" was only available with intial pressings of the PVC LP.

Of the 5 tracks on the bonus 12", 2 of them ("Finely Honed Machine" and "Sick Minutes") comprise the Finely Honed Machine 12".  Here "Sick Minutes" is edited, but it appears in its original form on the Finely Honed Machine 12" as well as on the Sink release.

2 more of the 5 tracks on the bonus 12" ("Wash It All Off" and "Today I Started Slogging Again") compromise the Wash / Slog 12".

"Wash It All Off" appears in its original form here , as well as on the "Wash" / "333" 7" and the Wash / Slog 12".  It also appears in edited form on Sink and for a John Peel radio show (available as a bootleg item) done in December 1982 (both edited versions being different from the other).

"Today I Started Slogging Again" appears in its original form on Deaf.  It appears in edited form here, as well as on the Wash / Slog 12" and a John Peel radio show (available as a bootleg item) done in December 1982 (all edited versions being different from each other).

The remaining track from the bonus 12" ("Halo Flamin' Lead") appears in its original form here as well as on the various artists Mad Mix 2 cassette.  It also appears in an edited version on the Sink release.

The PVC test pressing also includes the tracks "Sick Man Edit" [1:07] (end of LP side 1) and "Cold Day In Hell Edit" [1:14] (end of LP side 2), which are edited versions of the originals.

The PVC CD lists the tracks from the bonus 12" on the CD sleeve, but they do not actually appear on the CD.

The UK LP included a 2-page fold-out insert/lyric sheet, as did the US LP + 12", but not the US LP alone.  Additionally, the UK CD's insert featured the lyrics, whereas the US CD's insert did not.

The PVC test pressing of the LP + 12" included a 2-page track listing from Jem records, and came in 2 blank white covers, with blank white Hub-Servall labels; the only identifying features being the catalog # engraved in the run-out.

The 2007 Some Bizzare CD release is digipack format, with remastered audio and re-worked artwork.
