Bonus tracks: 2-7: was recorded during the "YOA" sessions with a 4 piece horn section. This song was mixed bright to bring out the feel of edginess with the horns but did not fit the dark mood of the "YOA" LP. Sadly it was never released. / 2-8, 2-9, 2-11: out-take mixes from another studio with some slight differences. "YOA" has a different feel with the snare up front and the guitars blended more edgy. / 2-10: recorded with a different drummer who was later replaced by Brad Naish and his awesome hypnotic style. ℗ 2001 ZENO Records © 1981 TRAP Records 3-1 to 3-11: Over The Edge. Bonus tracks: 3-12: recorded live 1983 in San Francisco. Mistaken ID was a song we had plans to record for "Over The Edge", but was forgotten. / 3-13: recorded at the "OTE" sessions, the flipside for the "Romeo" EP. / 3-14 to 3-16: out-take mixes for "OTE" with some differences. / 3-17: a different mix and vocal track with a lot more horn section. / 3-18: a short instrumental demo we almost recorded for "OTE". ℗ 2001 ZENO Records © 1983 TRAP Records Made in the USA Issued in a black Fatboy box with a 16-page booklet.
