Overview edit
Disc one marks the first, official release of the band's 1996 demo album (The Black Album) which was described as "lost".[2] The album, recorded before ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down, was rejected by Capitol Records and dismissed by the band themselves.[2] Three songs that were included on the original recording of the album are not included on this release, namely: "Traci Lords", "Alien" and "You Get High".[1]
The second disc (Come On Feel The Dandy Warhols) is the first compilation album released by the band. It contains B-sides, covers, and previously unreleased material.[3] Glide Magazine stated that the cover of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Ohio" used "droning synthesizers" to produce an "alt/psychedelia sound."[4]
