J-Card Comment:

This is an early, clean Mono-mix of "Opportunities."

Check out Mick's solo on the Stop-n-Go version of White Riot @ track 02! What a rock star!

A nearly final mix of Janie.

Track 04 (LB) sounds like the first time they tried to play/record this song.

The slowest version of 1977 I have ever heard...and there is no ad-libbing between the calling of years at the end.

"Crush on You" definately sounds like an early rehearsal from the day the track was cut for the single, note the excessive horn/piano sounds when used and the excessive echo...possibly an unused mix of the final cut!?

Can anyone decipher the lyrics on this version of I'm So Bored??

Sounds like the lyrics still weren't yet final for this version of London's Burning.

white Riot Take 1...fails. Take 2 - ever chorus is a sing-along, same with Career Opportunities.

This latter take of 1977 has the "ad-libbing" at the end.

Janie Jones is an instrumental rehearsal.

This version of Heartbreak Hotel would make any Elvis fan cringe. :D
