The live tracks are from the "Longest Day" gig with Nuclear Assault, Onslaught, and Atomkraft. Although video footage of the show was officially released, the bootleg has several songs not on the video and vice versa. This version of "The Unexpected" is also a bonus track on several reissues of the Skeptics Apocalypse album, though the version here may actually be slightly better quality.
It sounds like there were edits to the introductions of "Nothin' Left" and "Never Surrender," as Cyriis will start to say something but gets cut off. Also, even though they were played consecutively, a few seconds of stage banter were cut out from between "Nothin' Left" and "The Unexpected." There's an edit/jump between tracks 6 and 7.
Tracks 9-11 are listed as being from a 1984 demo, and track 12 is listed as being from a 1984 "second demo." However, track 9 isn't even the Agent Steel version (which there actually is an early demo version of), it's the earlier Sceptre demo version. Rather than real demos, tracks 10-12 just sound like low quality versions of the regular Skeptics Apocalypse tracks.
There's a small audio glitch/noise at 1:40 of track 13. It's the same track as on Metal Massacre 4.
