This is a home-made collection and a labor of love. Tracks 17 & 18 came from a CD source - a Jimmy Page sessions collection I believe, and tracks 19 & 20 came from the Reed, Cale, Nico - Bataclan CD. The rest of the songs were sourced from these records:

1. 'White Heat' 7"
2. 'Ride Into The Sun' 7"
3. 'Everything You've Heard About' 3 LP Box Set
4. 'And So On' 12"
5. 'Modern Pop' 7"
