Annotation

This is the original vinyl release, initially limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. It differs significantly from the CD version in content and sequencing, so those track names and times don't apply. The second side ends in a locked groove.
The cover features a glossy darkroom print of one of three variants (“water tower”, “road sign”, or “train”).

Side A: Nervous, Sad, Poor…

  • 1. "The Dead Flag Blues (Intro)" 6:09
  • 2. "Slow Moving Trains" 3:23
  • 3. "The Cowboy…" 4:16
  • 4. "Drugs in Tokyo" 3:29
  • 5. "The Dead Flag Blues (Outro)" 1:52
  • 6. Untitled 1:34

Side B: Bleak, Uncertain, Beautiful…

  • 1. "…Nothing’s Alrite in Our Life…" / "The Dead Flag Blues (Reprise)" 2:00
  • 2. "The Sad Mafioso…" 5:33
  • 3. "Kicking Horse on Brokenhill" 5:37
  • 4. "String Loop Manufactured During Downpour…" 4:26
