Repeat. while Part of Me and Fur were cut in the months leading up to the album’s release.All the songs on this release are early mixes, and sound different from the final versions.This cd was only given to band members and friends of the band, it was never meant to be released.Apparently every member drew their own artwork on each of these demos. According to Anders, this particular one has Joey’s doodling on it.
