3. "Coyote Duster" (live)

"Jailbreak" was a "test recording" with J. Yuenger of White Zombie to determine if they would get along. (This was stated by Scott Hill in an interview.) They apparently did, as Yuenger later produced their album, The Action Is Go.

Both versions of "Jailbreak" are out of print.
