Songs # 5, 7 and 8 make up all 3 of the songs originally on their 4-track 1982 Do or Die demo with Tony Eyres lead vocals.

The cd is professionally designed to resemble a black vinyl lp on the label side and the other side is reflective black. No Matrix etching.
Song time lengths are as listed on the digipak and the booklet and are all within 4 seconds of accurate except #'s 3 and 6 are each really 5 seconds shorter.
