Girls about Town (thier first single)
Back To Balboa (unreleased demo)
White Castle Blues (a fun 1987 Live version recorded at the Stone Pony)
Elaine (1980 demo)
One After 909 (from thier OOP "Top of The Pops" EP)
Cut Flowers (Honeys Mix - a stripped down remix without drums)
If You Want The Sun To Shine (Insrumental)
Love Is Gone (Jim Babjak Studio Demo)
Everything I Have Is Blue (Guitar Mix)
Downboard Trian (From the Bruce Springsteen "One Step Up/Two Steps Back"
Tribute CD)
Everything else is from thier studio albums. But most of these bonus cuts are
for die hard fans than new ones, theyre better off heaing the studio versions
first. Dennis Diken couldnt scrape the barrel much further since a lot of the
great rarities were on the "Attack of the Smithereens" CD.
A great comp because it adds cuts from the RCA and Koch CD's. But I still
reccomend "Blown To Smithereens" for a beginner compilation, and if you
want to
get cheap theres a 10 song "Best of the Smithereens" budget CD you can find at
Best Buy for $5.99, $2.99 used at Amazon. (A nice valentine gift!)
