About Each Track

Back Cover

Ghostrider / Sister Ray is a live version, recorded in Amsterdam Melkweg, in 2 June 1984.

Red Skies Disappear is the demo of Gary Marx singing early lyrics of [[First And Last And Always (song)|First And Last And Always]] that vaguely echo Marian (except Red Skies Disappear is about lying on the beach with Marian, rather than drowning without her).

Dance On Glass has a tinny sounding instrumental take of Black Planet and some lyrics by Hussey, who sings this unreleased song. Some of the lyrics made it onto other Mission songs, such as Naked And Savage, whereas The Mission's version of Dance On Glass is very much different.

A Rock And A Hard Place is the version with the almost techno-esque bassline.

Garden Of Delight is an unreleased song. It has Wayne Hussey singing. This song was later remade by The Mission, with similar, not not identical, lyrics.

The second version of Garden Of Delight is the same, musically, but has Eldritch singing. His voice isn't as well suited to the song as Hussey's.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door is a long studio demo of the classic Dylan song. There is a fade halfway through the original tape which couldn't be edited out on this CD.

Serpent's Kiss is an instrumental take of the song which eventually made it out as The Mission's first single.

Emma is a demo version, though many years would pass before its release on Dominion
