"These recordings are outtakes from our first two U.S. albums," states the inner sleeve of this 15- minute CD. I don't know this band, so it's impossible for me to tell if these are simply songs that wouldn't fit on their earlier CDs or if they are songs that weren't good enough to get on those releases.
