Detailed info (from bootleg.heavymetalmaniac.net)
No recording or date information of any kind is provided on the bootleg. Disc 1 seems to consist entirely of demo recordings done prior to the first album (I've also heard there were extra tracks recorded during the "Shakin' Brains" session that didn't make it to the LP, so that's a possibility too). If I were to guess I'd say the first 10/11 tracks are from one session and the rest from another, but again, that's only my guess.

As I mentioned for the bootleg above, the early "Light the Light" is musically very different from the later "Roses & Champagne" album version.

Track 5 is musically the same as "Dance Around the Fire" from the "Breakin' Chains" album. However, the lyrics are totally different, so the bootlegger's "Myrmidon" title may indeed be the correct original title.

Track 8 goes into a differently tempoed instrumental section around 1:56 (this may be an early version of what became "Millattack"). The audio abruptly stops at 2:41, and curiously, the rest of the track is rather mellow stuff with female vocals in Swedish.

While the two versions of "Not You Baby" share lyrics with the "Roses & Champagne" album version, the music is completely different and appears to be an early version of the song "Breakin' Chains."

"Homosexual Killer" is the rather unpolitically-correct original version of "Necrosexual Killer," changed for obvious reasons.

"Keep On Keepin' On" is not the same version that's a bonus track on the "Shakin' Brains" reissue, as the guitar solos and drumwork at the end are different.

The first half of Disc 2 is Silver Mountain stuff, while the last 5 tracks seem to be by related projects. I'm guessing tracks 4 and 5 are demos. Jonas Hansson sings the studio version of "Help Me."

I believe the live version of "Help Me" is from the same show where the "Hibiya: Live in Japan '85" album was recorded. At the end of the track you can hear the very beginning of "Always."
