A "miss-print" the jacket song list is NOT what is actually pressed.  

The normal track listing on "Songs The Lord Taught Us" is:

Side 1: TV Set, Rock On The Moon, Garbageman, I Was A Teenage Werewolf, Sunglasses After Dark, The Mad Daddy.
Side 2: Mystery Plane, Zombie Dance, What’s Behind The Mask, Strychnine, I’m Cramped, Tear It Up, Fever.

An alternate track listing was initially planned but scrapped, however not before 3 records had been released: The first one is the original (quickly withdrawn) USA 1980 release (easily distinguished by the white text on the front cover (all other US versions of the LP have this text in purple)): While this release has the normal tracklisting in the grooves, the back cover lists the originally intended track listing (incl. "Drug Train" which never surfaced on the ordinary track listing which replaced it by "TV Set"). The back cover also lists "The Mad Daddy" as "Mad Daddy":

Side 1: Drug Train, Garbage Man, Rock On The Moon, I Was A Teenage Werewolf, Sunglasses After Dark, Strychnine, Mad Daddy.
Side 2: Mystery Plane, Zombie Dance, I'm Cramped, What's Behind The Mask, Tear It Up, Fever.
