As I kept editing these songs, there was no way they could've fit on only 2cd's. (Plan was, 1cd 'Original Darkness Mixes', other cd of various outtakes) Then next thing I noticed, I had planned a 6cd set with 2cd's of Live tracks... In the end I decided not to include the live cd's which made this 'only' a 67 track, 4cd collection. I used John's 'brucebase' website (link somewhere below) as a database to see which tracks were 'worth' editing, where I could find them and so on. Making this a 4cd set allowed me to include some of the tracks I would've otherwise left out, such as the alternative 'Dont Look Back' & 'Ramrod' which are both in a bit worse sound quality. I wouldn't say any of the tracks sound 'bad'. When burning this compilation, make sure you burn it DAO (without the 2 seconds gaps between each track). My favourite tracks: D3_T1 + D3_T16. Big thanks to FrankiesJoint & Jumpstone for finding me most of the tracks.

Because The Night: studio outtake w/ unfinished lyrics Racing In The Street: early version w/ different lyrics Because The Night: Patti Smith, early version The Promise: full band studio outtake
