  • Side 1 is live in Santa Monica 11-Dec-1981 (first show).
  • Track 3 appears on Stage #6, edited down to 03:06, but here it's unedited: 05:36.
  • Track 4 is the same recording as on Apocrypha (Santa Monica, 11-Dec-1981, early show). Someone throws food on stage; Zappa stops the song and makes him eat it.
  • Tracks 5-6 are from Crush All Boxes (an unreleased album planned before Tinsel-Town Rebellion), but "Doreen" fades out earlier here and is not complete (02:47 vs 02:15).
  • Tracks 7-8 & 16 are live at the Palace Theater, Hollywood, 22-Jul-1984, with George Duke guesting on "Truck-Driver Divorce".
  • Side 3 is live in Munich 31-Mar-1979.
  • Track 10 is an "Outside Now" solo from Munich 31-Mar-1979, similar to "Outside Now (Original Solo)" on Guitar; it also appears on Lectures where it's called "Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar Again".
  • Tracks 11 & 13 are the Sleep Dirt CD mixes, but longer edits: "Flambay" is 10 seconds longer here (a bass ending), and "Spider of Destiny" 20 seconds longer (the Sleep Dirt version is edited in the middle and end).
  • Track 14 is from the Sleep Dirt CD.
  • Track 15 is a part of a live 1981 version (about one and a half minute of the head).
  • Track 16 is a 1981 studio version (the same recording as on Apocrypha).
  • Track 17 is live at the Palace Theater, Hollywood, 22-Jul-1984, with George Duke and Johnny "Guitar" Watson guesting. It has a unique intro, but is available with better sound quality on All You Need Is Glove.
