The collection also includes various hard-to-find B-Sides, which acted as a strong selling point for Hitchcock's fans, including ''Legalized Murder'', ''Ruling Class'', ''Dark Green Energy'' and ''Bright Fresh Flower''. In addition, two cover songs are included –  Bryan Ferry's ''More Than This'' and a live recording of [[The Byrds|the Byrds']] ''Eight Miles High''.
