Tracks 1-10 are the "In Color" album re-recorded. Tracks 11-15 are outtakes and alternates.

From the original compiler:
- On the "Rockline 2003" show, someone called in and asked the band for the
history behind this disc, and Bun E. Carlos gave the explanation. The "In
Color" album was produced by Tom Werman, but the band always felt that Werman
screwed up the album. "He made it safe for radio, but the album sounds like
it was done in a cardboard box." So about five years ago [late 1990s] they were in the
studio hanging around with the producer Steve Albini, and had nothing to do
for a few days, so they said "Yeah, that would be fun to redo that." So they
started re-recording the songs. They have not finished it yet, haven't gotten
all the harmonies or instruments on it yet, but someday they might finish it
and piggyback release it as a bonus disc with something else.
