Notes:
- The "Room 410" on this disc is extended, with dub-ins from the movie "Midnight Cowboy". United Artists would not OK its use for release, so this is a different version from the one that eventually appeared on "Hup".

Notes:
- This was never released. Called "The Lunathug EP", it was "aborted" since the band decided that releasing a new song (Circlesquare) would make more sense than another album track. The rumors are that one was pressed and given away.
