There is no track list.
The record has no track separation and
both sides contain more or less non-stop music.

Since there's no track list, what was actually played? According to Jon Naurin, "they played a long, orchestral suite called '200 Motels'", and according to Michael Gula, "that composition was really a hodge-podge, containing parts of what is now 'Bogus Pomp' along with themes of a number of Zappa tunes that were weeded out". Themes can be recognised from "Envelopes", "Holiday in Berlin", "A Pound for a Brown on the Bus", "The Duke of Prunes", "Who Needs the Peace Corps", "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque", "Oh No" and 200 Motels.

  • Pound for a Brown
  • Oh No
  • Envelopes
  • Little House I Used to Live in
  • Tuna Sandwich
  • Redneck Eats
  • World's Greatest Sinner
  • Holiday in Berlin
  • Inca Roads
  • Strictly Genteel
  • Duke of Prunes
  • Who Needs the Peace Corps?

The vinyl original of this was the first Zappa b00tleg record ever released, and despite the record number, the first Trademark of Quality release. Some report that early TMOQ runs were on red vinyl, later runs on black and in various covers. the very first edition (black vinyl) had hand-drawn covers!
