Featured on the album is "Erk Gah
", a never before released Tim Hodgkinson
composition that was performed live regularly by the band between 1976 and 1978, but never recorded in the studio. (Hodgkinson later recorded it in 1993 as "Hold to the Zero Burn, Imagine" on his 1994 solo album, Each in Our Own Thoughts
with some of the former Henry Cow members and others.) Also featured for the first time is a never before released Fred Frith
composition, "March" which the band used to end many of their concerts, and a cover
