about

Previously unreleased in this form (and with some songs previously unreleased entirely), this 'archival' album is made up of songs written after the release of '50th in the Nation' but before the personnel changes that led to 'Pig Pickin' in Hell'.

Tracks 1-4 were actually recorded in 1993 in 2 different posthumous recording sessions, one with guitarist Chip and one with vocalist-guitarist Joey. Alternate versions of the Chip recordings, credited to 'Robin Hoodlum', round out the collection as well. Tracks 5-9 were taken from board tapes of the band's first 2 shows (the same tapes that made up the live versions on the '50th in the Nation' download), while tracks 10-13 were taken from various 'jamboxed' rehearsal sessions. An overdub or two was added in a song or two to make parts more-audible, but not to change the original song. The sound quality isn't as good on these 4, but we wanted to include them here as well with apologies for any lack of quality.
