See disclaimer below:

This LP is for hardcore Jane's Addiction completists only since the LP only contains one side of

Jane's Addiction material which is demos on Side 1 which have been released several times.

Sides 2-4 contain songs by other bands, none of whom have any relation to Jane’s Addiction except that those bands also sent demos to Triple-X records in the mid 1980’s.

The song Fighting Back is an early version of a song called Can You Feel, Forever or Never and

Holding Stare are demos submitted to Triple-X records from a band called Cygnet.

Fighting Back would later be updated and released by Cygnet lead singer Allan Aguirre’s band

Spy Glass Blue and appears on the band’s album titled Shadows.

The songs Mephisto Waltz Part 1 and Mephisto Waltz Part 2 are tracks believed to be from the

band Mephisto Walz. The actual titles of these two songs is still unknown.

The songs Pissed off Krishnas From Hell Part 1 and Pissed Off Krishnas From Hell Part 2 are

demos from the Los Angeles based band Pissed off Krishnas From Hell. This band was never

notable and ceased to exist by 1987. These two songs likely furthered the rumor that these were

Jane’s Addiction demos as one of the many stories about the dissolution of Perry Farrell’s

pre-Jane’s Addiction band, Psi Com, was due to members leaving the band to become Hare Krishnas.

The song Minglewood Blues is supposedly a cover of a Grateful Dead song by an unknown band.

but the song sounds nothing like New Minglewood blues

The twenty minute long song 'All White People Look Alike' is actually a song by Brian Woodbury,

released in 1987 on the label Some Phil.
