Comment1. Piano Red (Ham) Studio Outtake Sep 1972
This track from first Ass sessions. Piano Red Outtake from first version of "Ass" LP Pete sings this unusual song in "Black voice".

2. Regular (Molland) Studio Outtake Oct 1972
Another outtake from the frist Ass sessions the first version of "Ass" LP Joey sings this pub song while being drunk.

3. Do You Mind (Molland) Alternate Take Sep 1972
Do You Mind version 2, outtake from first version of "Ass" LP
This take is different (and better) than the one included on the "Ass" CD as a bonus track.

4. No Good At All (Evans) Studio Outtake 1971
Outtake from first version of "Straight Up" LP, Tommy sings this rocker.

5. Sweet Tuesday Morning (Molland) Pre-Overdub Mix Sep 1971
Outtake from first version of "Straight Up" LP.
The original version prior to overdubs added by Todd Rundgren.

6. Baby Please (Gibbins/Ham/Molland) Studio Outtake Feb 1971
Outtake from first version of "Straight Up" LP.
Pete sings this rocker which was written as a jam.

7. Sing For The Song (Evans) Outtake 1971
Outtake from first version of "Straight Up" LP.
Tommy sings this potential single which was never released.

8. I Can Love You (Molland) Take 7 Sep 1971
Alternate take from "Ass" sessions.
This alternate take begins with Joey's voice and the engineer announcing take 7.
This is also a "dry" rough mix, and features a slightly longer ending.

9. Loving You (Gibbins) Studio Outtake 1971
Outtake from first version of "Straight Up" LP.

10. Timeless (Ham) Alternate Take Sep 1971
Alternate take from "Ass" sessions
This alternate take is mixed "dry" and features a different guitar solo and shorter
ending.

11. Coppertone Blues (Ham) Instrumental Backing Track 9 Sep 1972
This attempt to speed up the tempo from Pete's original acoustic guitar demo to suit
Badfinger's style failed miserably, thus the track never got to the overdubbing stage
(no lead guitar or vocals).

12. Cowboy (Gibbins) Alternate Take Instrumental Backing Track Sep 1971
This alternate take is just the backing tracks with no vocals, featuring slide guitar,
acoustic guitar, drums by Mike, and bass. It also features harmonica. This is
actually the backing tracks to Mike's solo version which now brings into question
who the musicians are. It is rumored that Pete Ham played on it, possibly the
harmonica and slide guitar.
