Song origins

edit
  • "Panic" and "Solar Lodge" were originally released on Scatology.
  • "First Dark Ride" was originally released on the 12" "Nasa Arab" as Coil vs. The Eskaton. The song was later released on Unnatural History III.
  • "Further Back And Faster" was originally released on Love's Secret Domain.
  • "Red Skeletons" and "Blue Rats" were originally released on A Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room as Black Light District.
  • "Scope" was originally released on "Wrong Eye/Scope" and later released on Unnatural History III.
  • "A.Y.O.R." was previously available in a slightly longer form on the bootleg Backwards. The song was later remade as "It's in My Blood" and released on The Ape of Naples.
  • "The First Five Minutes After Death" is incorrectly labeled "The First Five Minutes After Violent Death". "The First Five Minutes After Death" originally appeared on Horse Rotorvator - as did "The Anal Staircase" - and has a track timing of 4:45, while "The First Five Minutes After Violent Death" originally appeared on Gold Is the Metal (With the Broadest Shoulders) with a track timing of 2:43 due to a sequencing error, although the remastered/revised version is 5:00.
