Notes:

The acetate version of Black Star, as released on the 'Black Star' EP, is the original composite master with repaired ending.

The overdubbed master of Britches is spliced from take 5 (0:00-0:33), take 7 (0:33-1:12) and insert take 1 (1:12-1:42). The stereo release on 'Double Features' has a left channel delay on the track of 100 ms. The left vocal channel has been mixed with the mono track instead of releasing the song in binaural stereo.
