Notes

• The song "Wal to Wal" is the first recorded song on which Phil Collins used a Roland drum machine. (The first recorded Genesis song on which he used a drum machine is Duchess.)
• Both "Don't Make Waves" and "Soho" were released as singles.
• The non-album song "Pool Room Blues" was used as a B-side to one of the singles. "Genocide of the Straights" is another non-album track that failed to make the cut on Livestock, yet was included on a 1977 EP titled 'X-cerpts - 3 from "Livestock" + 1'.
• Various releases of the album switch the track list with "...And So to F..." and "Not Good Enough - See Me!"
