Notes
“Masquerade” was re-recorded from the Levitate version and released to coincide with Mark E. Smith receiving the Godlike Genius award at the NME Awards. It reached number 69 in the UK charts. “Calendar”, a collaboration with then-unknown Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) which came about after a chance meeting when Smith allegedly mistook Gough’s car for a taxi outside a pub.
The live version of Ol’ Gang comes from Tuesday, 9 December , 1997 – Bierkellar, Bristol, England
The live version of Spencer Must Die is two live tracks spliced together; the first part comes from the Bierkeller, Bristol gig also
