Notes: This is a bootleg release. Tracks listed as being "demos" are not, but regular album versions. See below for details.

SP release:

"Sleeping Beast" seems to be from the original BACK AND FORTH tape.

"K-9" is also taken from the original BACK AND FORTH cassette.

"Christianity" is the same version as on BITES.

"Ice Breaker" and "Glass Houses" are the same versions as found on REMISSION.

LAND OF TECHNOLOGY

x CD 1993 Exactor Mortis DE?

Smothered Hope (live 1988) / Assimilate (live 1988) / A Perfect Simulation (demo) / Incision (demo) / Addiction (demo) / Glass Houses (live 1986) / Brap (live 1986) / Far Too Frail (live 1986) / Icebreaker (demo) / Christianity (demo) / Glass Houses (demo) / The Choke (live 1988) / Addiction (live 1988) / Falling (demo) / Dead Lines (live 1986) / Resistance (by Bill Leeb)

Notes: The track listing above is as it appears on the disc cover. However, it appears that it is almost completely wrong, as peterg@cid.syr.edu (Drugg Pico) reports the following:

The Live 1988 tracks - "Smothered Hope", "Assimilate", "The Choke" and "Addiction" - are all taken from the official live release AIN'T IT DEAD YET.

"A Perfect Simulation" is actually "Choralone (Live in Houston)" from the SPASMOLYTIC CD5".

"Incision", "Icebreaker", "Christianity", "Glass Houses" and "Falling" are not demos but the regular versions.

"Addiction (demo)" is the dog house mix from NETTWERK SOUND SAMPLER 2.

"Resistance", although credited to "Bill Leeb", is actually a FLA track from the "State of Mind" LP/CD.

Only the Live 1986 tracks are properly credited. The 1986 tracks are from the same show as the KILL TO CURE & FRACTAL ZOOM bootlegs listed above. 'Dead Lines' is misspelled 'Dead Line'.

A very limited quantity (supposedly 50 copies) of this bootleg has been seen in record fairs in Germany in a black cardboard box with the cover art printed and attached. This was likely made by a third party, essentially a bootleg of a bootleg.

HEAVEN'S TRASH

x CD 1993 Unbelievable Music UM 030 DE

Choralone / VX Gas Attack / Tin Omen / God's Gift (Maggot) / Convulsion / Testure / Worlock / Harsh Stone White / Rash Reflection / Dogshit / Shore Line Poison / Nature's Revenge / Spasmolytic / Reclamation / Morpheus Laughing / T.F.W.O.

Notes: Recorded live at the Riviera Night Club, Chicago, on November 3, 1990. 'T.F.W.O.' is misspelled as 'T.W.F.O.' on the packaging. Sound quality is fair to poor.

AIN'T ENOUGH DAMN PUPPY

x CS 1995 Smothered-Hope List US

Choralone (live at the Riv, Chicago, Nov/90) / Get Down (Revolting Cocks w/Ogre) / Razor's Edge (Revolting Cocks w/Ogre) / Noreen (W.E.L.T.) / Left Hand Shake / interview with cEVIN on VIVIsectVI / Brave New Waves Session (live performance, CBC Radio, Sept/86)

Notes: A collection of Puppy (and Puppy-related) "rarities" compiled by members of smothered-hope, a Skinny Puppy discussion mailing list on the Internet. This release was vaguely OKed by Ogre, but should still be considered "semi-official" at best, a "bootleg" at worst. "Noreen" is not listed on the cover, but is listed on the tape shell and appears on the tape.

INTOLERANCE

xCD 1996 Metalmania no# US

CDR ?? US

(unlisted Charles Manson interview) / Tin Omen (Live Miami Beach) / Worlock (Live Miami Beach) / VX Gas Attack (Live Miami Beach) / Second Tooth (Live Miami Beach) / Left Hand Shake (Live Miami Beach) / (unlisted live improvisation) + Testure (Live Miami Beach) / Left Hand Shake (banned studio version from 'Last Rights') / Stairs & Flowers / Cage / Tin Omen / Spahn Dirge

Notes: The first six tracks were recorded live at the Cameo Theatre in Miami on 06.18.92. The final 3 tracks (detailed below) are listed as being 'previously unreleased/remixed' on the outer packaging, though they are in fact taken from the original singles.

Original 'limited edition' copies were released in heavy cardboard digipacks, were hand-numbered and included a heavy piece of metal etched with the 'SP' logo, attached to the front cover. These were supposedly limited to 1999 copies. A sticker attached to the outer cover also proclaimed this to be 'Skinny Puppy's Last Live Show', but this has been proven incorrect. These initial copies were pressed on true factory-made silver CDs, while all later (and current) editions are CDRs.

Some later CDR repressings included the same packaging, paper, and printing. This indicates that these CDR copies likely originated from the same source. Later pressings were housed in a jewel case, rather than the initial gatefold digipacks. Recent pressings have featured cover art appropriated directly from Download's 'III' CD, whereas the back cover featured promo photos of Dwayne, cEvin, and Ogre seated from the 'Process' sessions. These were likely pressed and printed by a different source.

"Stairs & Flowers" is actually "Stairs & Flowers (def wish mix)" from the CHAINSAW EP/CD and STAIRS & FLOWERS 12".

"Cage" is the same as the version on CHAINSAW and the TESTURE CD3".

"Tin Omen" is "Tin Omen (reload)" from the TIN OMEN 12"/CD5".

"Spahn Dirge" is the same as the version on TIN OMEN and the RABIES CD.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT (THE FINAL SHOW)

2xCD 2001? ?? KR

Addiction / Love In Vein / The Choke / Harsh Stone White / Tin Omen / Worlock / Knowhere? / Anger / VX Gas Attack / Second Tooth / Killing Game / Circustance / Left Handshake / Dirty Tricks / Testure

Notes: This is a double-CD bootleg recording (reportedly of Korean origin, but this needs to be verified) of the band's final performance in Chicago on July 21, 1992 on the 'Last Rights' tour. This release is said to be "manufactured in Korea, but distributed from Canada worldwide". There is some dispute concerning this being strictly a CDR release, or if copies do actually exist as true manufactured silver non-recordable CDs.
