Session 2 (track A5 - B8) was recorded on November 24, 1985. Session 3 (track B9 - B12) dates from November 30, 1986. Except for track B8 (which was never released before), all songs appear in different musical settings (while recorded elsewhere in time and place)on various other (formerly vinylised) Ex-products. A version of track 1 appeared on The Red Dance Package, a split 12" with Alerta (CNT Productions, CNT 017, September '83), and there is also a live version on Support The Miners' Strike, a split live-benefit album with Zowisoand Morzelpronk+Nico (Records Against Thaatchism, RAT 001, February '85).
