Discography
| Notes: | Most of the earlier singles have been deleted and are available as parts of compilations. |
| The red numbers in brackets refer to later repackagings. | |
| Not listed here are: compilations where Monochrome Set songs form only part of the whole; pirate releases; cover versions of Monochrome Set songs; recordings by other artistes that the members of The Monochrome Set have either played on, produced, or otherwise been involved in- these latter are covered in the "Other" section. | |
| The exception to the above are the three singles, "The Gulp" (solo, Lester Square) "Reach For Your Gun" (solo, Bid), and "Whoops! What A Palava", because they are included on later versions of "Volume, Contrast, Brilliance". These are listed in blue. |
