The title track, "Asleep In The Back", was a bonus track added to later editions of the album after it had been released as a single. Thus there are four different versions: a 12-track version, two 11-track versions only featuring either "Asleep In The Back" or "Can't Stop" and a 10-track version including neither of them.
