Notes

John Keane's Studios, Athens, GA / Bearsville Studios, NY
1988

Prior to this, these three tracks were not known amongst collectors to exist as "Green demos".

The three songs are:
09 - The Wrong Child (instrumental) --- much longer than Green version
10 - Get Up (Vocal) --- partially written lyric, with music boxes but different musical backing tracks
14 - Stand --- no wah-wah guitar solo, different musical backing tracks
than any of the pre-existing bootleg releases.
