Notes
A collection of singles, rarities + outtakes.
Hand-numbered edition of 700. Back cover states "Edition of 1200" but only 700 were pressed.
1. Courtesy of Sub Pop. A-side of single SP47. Recorded spring '89, 16-track.
2. Courtesy of Sub Pop. B-side of SP47, from the same session as above.
3. Jason Finn drummed for us from Sept. '86 to Apr. '87. We started recording what would have been our 2nd album, then started over from scratch when Scott joined on drums. This song, "The Ha-Ha", "This Lonely Place" and "No Right (Jason Version)" are from these earlier 8-track sessions with Jason. (Also see "Bleed" and "Out of the Attic" on the CD of our first album.) Notwithstanding Helios Creed's amazing guest guitar work on the Fist Sized Chunks version of this song, this one is much more like we used to play it live. Ben never did settle on lyrics. Not a punk rock tune.
4. Courtesy of Dash Board Hula Girl Records. Originally on "Another Damned Seattle Compilation." Recorded Spring '91.
5. Summer 1985, 4-track.
6. Summer 1985, 4-track. Temporary insanity?
7. Originally on the "Hard to Believe" compilation. We were going to omit this, but too many people asked about it. Forgive us. (Same session as SP47.)
8. Knuckles sessions, late '90. Very different from the version on the Cruz 10-inch, CRZ-702.
9. B-side of the Toxic Shock "Stranger" single. Our only song without guitar; Daniel plays the straight bass part, Jack plays fuzz-echo-wah bass with a slide. Improvised "live" in the studio including vocals; more noises were overdubbed. A great live song but we got tired of carrying an extra bass around.
10. Outtake from Knuckles sessions, 1990, 24-track.
11. A song from Daniel's pre-SY band Feedback (37) that we resurrected and played for awhile.
12. Very different from the later version tacked onto the Fist Sized CD. Vocal effects done live in the studio by Ben while singing through some sort of pedalboard.

Reviews
still looking for this one if anyone has it :(- if anyone is selling i may be buying. email me at [email protected]
Both the CD release and MP3 release are needed since they have both have tracks exclusive to each one.- The last track ends at four minutes, but after three and a half minutes of silence a clip of Skin Yard playing some horrible noise fades in and then quickly fades out. Wondering if anyone can identify it as a song.
- Edited 8 months agoIronically, collecting the old singles and compilations that feature these tracks has become cheaper than buying this CD.
