2. The Hump, previously only available on limited vinyl
3. An apparently longer version of Big Meat Show. 9:05 vs. 6:51 on the demo DAT.
4. An apparently longer version of Minneapolis. 10:04 vs. approx. 9:07 on the vinyl.
5. Full version of Why Why Why (12:12)
6. Second Hand. Previously only available on Cafe Del Mar collection.
7. Parc (Live) (2005). Possibly a previously unreleased version. Track timing (3:28) does not match any previous release (Amsterdam - 7:39, The Bells The Bells - 4:16, Brixton - 8:15). It was known to have been played in 2005 at Montreux Jazz Festival and Melt Festival.

Bang, i appreciate the details/breakdown!
Yes, i will buy this especially for
2. The Hump (didn't have a quality rec. of that),
3. Big Meat Show (longer version) and
6. Second Hand (though i'm pretty happy with the version that used to be on the UWLive archive, like back in 2002-ish...it's apparently a live studio jam but fairly true to the Cafe del Mar version).

As for the other tracks, i'm still hopeful, but the time differences, even a minute or more, usually spell "edit" or "looped fade out" to me. But hey, there were some surprises on 1992-2002 and also on the Ansum/AHDO promo...hopefully here as well.
