Taken from officially released vinyl & CD single b‐sides, as well as officially released CD compilations and movie soundtrack CDs. The original issue had mastering problems and contained many “dropouts” or “skips” from some of the vinyl source material. The reissued version was recorded at too high a level and still had problems with skips. Another reissued version was recorded at the correct level but unfortunately also had skips that were different than previous versions.
