"Zodiac" would actually be the band Brutal Truth covering the song. "Poison" is the Melvin's mix of the track on Wayne Kramer's album The Hard Stuff, originally by his band MC5. "Forgotten Principles" originally appeared in the same demo sessions as Mangled Demos From 1983. Many of the songs would comprise of unreleased demos, live cuts, sound collages and outtakes from Houdini, Stoner Witch and Stag.
