A few notes:

- the demos on disc 1 are in stereo, taken from the 4-track masters (I 
believe only 2 tracks were used on the tape). They were mono on TWTD.

- Blue Condition with EC on vocals is an alt mix from the DG sessions, 
previously unreleased. Luckily it was sent back to England and wasn't lost 
in the fire.

BTW, sound quality improvements really have a LOT less to do with newer 
technology and a LOT more to do with sources and techniques. What type of 
EQ is used can make a huge difference.
