So I found this cd locally yesterday at a used shop. In my foggy memory, it had some exclusive or rare tracks on it, so I picked it up.
After getting home, I started researching. There are 12 tracks total, with 9 of them from either OYFOOYK, Some Enchanted Evening, or Extraterrestrial Live.
1 R. U. Ready 2 Rock 6:09
2 Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll 5:24
3 The Red And The Black 4:32
4 Godzilla 4:26
5 7 Screaming Diz-Busters 8:55
6 (Don't Fear) The Reaper 6:49
7 Harvester Of Eyes 4:41
8 Black Blade 6:19
9 The Vigil 7:28
10 Flaming Telepaths 6:29
11 5 Guitars 8:45
12 ME 262 8:02
The other three (Godzilla, The Vigil, and Flaming Telepaths) are what would be considered rare I guess.
1. Godzilla was taken from a 1978 promo single (AS447) backed with the studio version. 2. The Vigil is from a show at Zellerbach Auditorium in Berkeley, CA in 1979. 3. Flaming Telepaths is from a 12" single for Burnin' For You. It appears to have been recorded at Bonds International Casino in NY on 6/16/81.
In the BOC Columbia Albums Collection, there's a disc of Rarities. It includes The Vigil from the Berkeley show, along with 4 other tracks from that show. So that one isn't unique to the Setlist disc.
But on the Rarities disc there's also a live mono recording of Godzilla from '77 that states it's previously unreleased. So here's the question - anyone know if the Godzilla version above is the same as the Godzilla on the Rarities disc?
For me the Setlist disc either has one track I don't have elsewhere (Flaming Telepaths) or two, if Godzilla is unique.

the version on the box set's Rarities CD is the promo 7" mono edit of the track that appears on "Setlist" in its full length stereo mix (as far as I'm concerned)

So it appears this cd has one unique track (Godzilla full length stereo) and one relatively rare track (Flaming Telepaths) that I don't otherwise own. I guess that makes this release worthy.

Used book and record stores have some cool stuff at times. Patience and persistence required.
There seems to be several versions of these things floating around. From the old BOC website under studio->reissues (NOTE: this was for Agents of Fortune, not SETLIST.)
Agents of Fortune Expanded Edition Remastered Sony Legacy CK 85479 (2001)
This Ain't the Summer of Love True Confessions (Don't Fear) The Reaper E. T. I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) The Revenge of Vera Gemini Sinful Love Tattoo Vampire Morning Final Tenderloin Debbie Denise
Bonus Tracks:
(Don't Fear) The Reaper (Buck's original home demo) Dance The Night Away (Allen's original home demo with Allen singing) Sally (Pre-Production) Fire Of Unknown Origin
I found others on Discogs. You can see if you can find your release number at:
This one isn't yours, but it has 14 tracks. Note the "DEMONSTRATION - NOT FOR SALE" note. 🚫
(You should be able set a filter on Discogs for SETLIST.)

That's a cool find!
I wonder how many other "oddball" (didn't know what to call them) BOC discs are floating around out there in used shops and garage sales?
