This is an excellent soundboard recording from the pre-"Wishing Chair" era, featuring
multiple songs that were short-lived in the band's live set and that ultimately remain
unreleased.

Disc 1, track #6, and Disc 2, track #15, are referred to as "Toy Helmet"
and "Primitive Mentality" respectively. Both are early versions of future b-side /
bonus track "The Colonial Wing". I can't say exactly why they are labeled under different
titles, but both "Toy Helmet" and "Primitive Mentality" are referenced often enough in
other Maniacs setlists that I'm inclined to believe that both titles were used by the band
at one point or another.

Disc 2, song #7, is a song commonly referred to as "John Sings Ska", but I have no idea
of whether that's an unofficial fan-created title or not. The same song also appears on
the Buffalo 1984 recording (to be uploaded separately), using that same title.
