There are 6 additional songs on the complete demo. "Spank Thru" was offically released and has thus been excluded here. The other 5 songs are unsurfaced (and the titles are also unknown). There is also some dialogue from "Reefer Madness" between the first two songs that has been removed here just to be safe.

A song titled "Laminated Effect" was described in the old "Come As You Are" book. It has been said that this is Track #3, but Dale Crover claims that the name of that song is "Made Not Born". So the song either had two different titles, or "Laminated Effect" is really one of the 5 unsurfaced songs. The CAYA book also describes a song titled "Buffy's Pregnant". However, the song containing this lyric also contains a lyric described in the "Heavier Than Heaven" book as belonging to a song called "Class Of '85". The title "Class Of '86" appears on a J-card (from an edited and unheard tape) at this position in the demo, so it is believed that "Class Of '86" is the correct title of this song. There is also a song listed on the j-card as "Blather's Log" which is believed to either be Unknown Song #7 or an early title for "Downer", based on it's position in the tracklisting.
