NOTES:

  • The "Scream Tape" as it appears on the Tellus compilation is a collection of screams that I believe Thurston and Lee recorded in an old grain silo while in Europe (per "Goodbye 20th Century", claiming these screams were used for the intro of 'Marilyn Moore' as well). They certainly played this tape through an amp onstage to segue between "Early American" and "Burning Spear" on the fall '83 tour, and later on the Bad Moon Rising tour. However, the version on the compilation, though listed as "Recorded live in Rolle, Switzerland in June 1983", is definitely not from a live show (which is what I've always assumed, until I actually listened to it...). My assumption is that it was recorded while the band was staying in Switzerland on their first European tour.
