This album deals with the time period of three studio albums: "The Family that Plays Together" (1968), "Clear" (1969), and "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" (1970). The vast majority of the songs here are bonus tracks released on later versions of those three albums. The song "1984" was released as an A-side in 1969 and later included as a bonus track for the "Clear" album. It's one of the band's best songs. Its B-side was "Sweet Stella Baby."
There's only one song here that has not been released as a bonus track, or in fact officially released at all, and that's "Jealous." I don't know why that one's been overlooked, since it's a good original. This version comes from a 1969 concert bootleg. It has good enough sound quality to fit in with the others.
This album is 45 minutes long.
