Notes:

• The Mirrordot edition (which I don't have) includes "Closet Kings" at the end.
• A track called "Kleine Juliet" is on "Chemical Playschool Volume 10."
• Mostly a collection of songs that appeared on Chemical Playschool Volumes 1 and 2, crossfaded together, with some new songs and a number of unlisted experiments in between.
• Future compilation albums that feature these songs invariably use a Kleine Krieg tape instead of the other early tapes -- probably due to the better sound quality here -- but this results in the songs being truncated to remove crossfades.
• Thus concludes the "first glut" of songs. These first four albums all draw from more-or-less the same group of songs written during 1980-1981, often re-recorded and re-worked, sometimes glued together in different ways. From now on the Dots will be working almost entirely with NEW compositions.
