* "Sin City" was recorded live from Midnight Special on 6 September 1978.
* "Walk All Over You" and "T.N.T." were recorded live from Let There Be Rock: The Movie in the Australian version.
* "She's Got Balls" was recorded live in 1977 from the Bondi Lifesaver, and is also found as a b-side to the single "You Shook Me All Night Long".
* "School Days" is from T.N.T., and was previously unreleased outside of Australia.
