Inner sleeves designate the discs as "Record 1/2" and "Record 3/4". The first inner sleeve and the back cover designate the vinyl sides as Side One (F), Side Two (G), Side Three (T), Side Four (H). The labels have F, G, T, H in custom artwork, and the typeset text says Side One pray frankie pray, Side Two say frankie say, Side Three stay frankie stay, Side Four play frankie play.

The total time for each side is printed on the labels as 15:37, 15:32, 16:32, and 18:03, respectively. Individual track durations are not printed on the release, but the total times listed do not exactly match the audio content, particularly for Side B. Actual times are 15:36, 14:02, 16:26, and 17:54, respectively.

Track titles here are as shown on back cover and inner sleeve. The labels have some variations:
[A3] Snatch Of Fury
[C1] Fury
[C3] San Jose
[C4] Wish The Lads Were Here Inc. Ballad Of 32
[D1] Ḱrisco Ḱisses

Track B4 is not listed on the release but is present on side B of the record.

Ian Cooper, the UK LP's mastering engineer, has a mastering credit on the first inner sleeve, but at least two sides of this US pressing were mastered (or further mastered) by Greg Calbi, indicated by the star next to the Sterling stamp in the dead wax.
