Information taken from http://www.thirdav.com/hd_discog/03_boot_audio.html "This is an edited version of the tape circulated among traders as "Zen Arcade later mixes andouttakes." There are speed problems on the first track, there's occasional distortion from signal saturation, and the overall sound is extremely brittle. It sounds as if some sort of digital processing has been applied in an attempt to reduce the tape hiss. The first "One Step At A Time" is omitted from the track listing and the second occurrence is mistitled "Monday Will Never Be The Same" (this was probably intentional, because it's clear that the people behind this had access to an accurate track listing). Grant's untitled piano noodling is arbitrarily assigned the title "Granted" and his remarks at the end of the song have been cut. Several of the best tracks were left off the CD altogether, including the terrific version of "Somewhere" with the additional guitar overdub. These omissions were almost certainly made to keep the total time under 60 minutes to save costs. The holo data on the inner circumference of the disc has been deliberately scratched out, but enough remains to indicate that this was produced in the US. The packaging is shoddy, monochrome inserts with a motif of traditional Chinese art; the inner pages are blank. The disk itself is devoid of artwork except for the legend "Side A." Selling price in the Boston area was about $14 at the time this was released, but it's long out of print."
