Comment: Nothing new as far as musical content goes. The sound rework is generally very well done. Some of the tracks have a bit too much volume enhancement for my taste though (and amplified hiss to go with it). Lots of additional track information added here that wasn't listed on the original CD packaging.

Comment: These are cleaned-up and improved recordings from songs originally issued on vinyl LP some years ago. The cover insert reproduces the original LP release artwork. Much of this previously released on the CD "Undercover Outtakes" on the Rogue label (RG-02). I've always found these isolated percussion tracks of Undercover Of The Night to be quite interesting to listen to.
