Notes
Japanese-only edition CD. Japanese remastered and extended version with 4 bonus tracks originally taken from the US 5 track EP 'Cry To The Beat'.Track 16 however is an exclusive reworking of one of those 4 tracks, i.e. the 'Piano Version' of the song "Dead And Well" on that US release. "Cry To The Beat", however, is not on this release.
Digitally remastered with superior sound quality.
Complete obi-strip & Japanese introductory/lyrics sheets included.
Originally mastered by Scott Hull at Bushwick Studio, Brooklyn, NY.
extract from statement on band website viewed in june 2010 relating to this and other releases:
"Disowned recordings
Grotesque productions from grotesque times in the history of The Ropes, however some still seem to extract a bit of enjoyment and purity from these early recordings. Some of these songs may be revisited in the future… and many show up when we play live."
