Reviews & Opinions
None yetAdditional Notes
'Burn Down Your Daddy's House' is an outtake from Released. it should have been on the LP but was replaced with 'Red Rubber Ball', presumably to cash-in on the popularity of that song. 'Mercenary Flight' and 'Terminal Rock' are alternative versions of songs from the Released LP. 'Dead On Arrival' is previously unreleased. Despite the subtitle "The Original Recordings: 1977-1979" there is nothing here that was actually recorded in 1979 (the Released LP came out in '79 so the subtitle is not really inaccurate).
