Tracks 1-3 are listed as being a 1981 demo with Lloyd Grant--completely wrong. Incorrect "Tatler, Harris" writing credits are given for "Killing Time"--obviously someone was thinking of a very different NWOBHM band.

Tracks 3 and 5 appear to be the same "No Life 'til Leather" version of "The Mechanix," just from different sources. The track 5 version is better quality.

"Fight Fire with Fire" is listed as one of the 1983 demo tracks, and indeed a real '83 demo version with rather unpolished vocals exists, but the track here sticks out as being too perfect--the vocals even have effects on them. This just seems to be a low quality version of the regular album track. The other '83 demo tracks are legitimate.
