			Note in the inside of the cassette tape: {{quote\|We made multiple demos of almost every song, so I chose versions that are rare or interesting for this tape. The date isn't necessarily when a demo was first made, just the last time we messed with it. So many of these are older than they say.}}

Octopia: The Fallen Releases link is already on this page, no need to add it again. Added the Rock Sound source. No source that Amy played the piano on the band version of MI (not even the 20th anniversary reissue mentions it in the credits), this was originally recorded as the track #4, but Wind-up preferred the Origin version with strings. Amy had said many times she didn't play any piano on Fallen, David did it.
