- Sounds So Fine - 4:25, 258 kbps MP3, 8.1 MB (25.1 MB lossless FLAC also available). "Cheap, nasty disco music". Random.
- Time Warp - 6:15, 262 kbps MP3, 11.7 MB (35.6 MB lossless FLAC also available). Includes various announcements beforehand, and there are a number of audience hecklers ("Who's the wanker in the tights?") towards the beginning of the song.
- Time Warp II - 6:31, 270 kbps MP3, 12.6 MB (38.2 MB lossless FLAC also available). "Lots of people have said I've gone commercial with The Time Warp II. But I had to to get radio play!". Apparently this is the radio version, which was #44 on the singles charts at the time. At some point during the song something happened to the PA which caused it to vibrate horribly. Rather than fixing it, they just turned the volume down or unplugged the offending speaker.

- Audience Q&A - 2:37, 241 kbps MP3, 4.5 MB (13.9 MB lossless FLAC also available)
- Closing - 1:14, 247 kbps MP3, 2.2 MB (6.6 MB lossless FLAC also available)
- Deadpan Dolores - 1:49, 260 kbps MP3, 3.4 MB (10.3 MB lossless FLAC also available). From his 1982 stage musical, The Stripper.
- Feminist at Heart - 2:45, 251 kbps MP3, 4.9 MB (15.1 MB lossless FLAC also available). "A new song I've written". I've never come across it elsewhere.
- Introduction - 3:05, 250 kbps MP3, 5.5 MB (16.9 MB lossless FLAC also available). It's very difficult to hear Richard's introductory comments, between the loud crowd and the quiet sound system.
- Jazz Speech - 1:01, 239 kbps MP3, 1.7 MB (5.4 MB lossless FLAC also available). "Does anybody here like Jazz?"
- King of Mediocrity Speech - 1:00, 247 kbps MP3, 1.8 MB (5.5 MB lossless FLAC also available). "Isn't it amazing that such mediocrity can bring you fame?" ... "On my death bed, I thought you know they'd say 'He was the King of Mediocrity'."
- Man of Steel - 2:02, 259 kbps MP3, 3.8 MB (11.5 MB lossless FLAC also available). From his 1982 stage musical, The Stripper.
- Rhythm of the Heartbeat - 4:27, 237 kbps MP3, 7.6 MB (23.5 MB lossless FLAC also available). This song would later appear in his Disgracefully Yours stage show, which Richard played in the character of Mephistopheles Smith.
- You're Just A Cousin Of Mine - 2:31, 246 kbps MP3, 4.4 MB (13.7 MB lossless FLAC also available). "Here's a song about incest ... The family that lays together stays together". Another Richard song I've never come across elsewhere.
- Superheroes - 2:27, 237 kbps MP3, 4.1 MB (12.8 MB lossless FLAC also available). "Kill the sound engineer!". Apparently the audience was also unhappy with the sound system. Richard sang this immediately following the Rocky Horror Picture Show screening, since it was a non-Superheroes print.
- Little Black Dress - 1:44, 252 kbps MP3, 3.1 MB (9.6 MB lossless FLAC also available). From the 1981 film Shock Treatment.
- Shock Treatment - 1:53, 260 kbps MP3, 3.5 MB (10.6 MB lossless FLAC also available). From the 1981 film.
