Note:
This is a reissue of various LP bootlegs on cd. The first four Peel sessions were lifted from the 7" bootleg "The Final Radio Sessions" (which also mislabels them as "These Things Take Time", "What Difference Does It Make", "You Handsome Devil" and "The Night Has Opened My Eyes"). The Troy Tate outtakes were taken from the "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" LP bootleg. The last three tracks were likely lifted off the LP edition of "A Nice Bit Of Meat".
