Comments: This may be the only release with a studio version of Prayer Chain's "Chatterbox", which didn't make the final cut for Shawl.  A few live versions of it are available on Prayer Chain releases, but this is a studio recording, not quite album quality, but really good demo quality at the least.  A few of these other tracks may be unavailable elsewhere too.  Track 12 was re-released as a bonus track on the Undercover Anthology Volume 2 box set, and the song was originally recorded live on the 3-28-87 album.  Tracks 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10 are straight from their original album release.  In addition to track 6, tracks 1, 2 (remix version), 4, 7, and 11 (live version) may be exclusive to this release.
