  1. “Motorbike Beat”

  2. “Voodoo”

  3. “Scuba, Scuba”

  4. “Rock-a-Boom”

  5. “Where’s the Boy For Me?”

  6. “Destination Venus”
    (A slight cheat but since this was the final Rezillos single it counts as a transitional tune.)

  7. “Mind-Bending Cutie Doll”

  8. “Where’s The Boy For Me/Motorbike Beat”“
    (Kind of a repeat but killer versions, even with the brutal editing.)
