A double album of what the band recorded at Noise New York outside the three albums, grouped by session: February 1988, July 1988, February 1989, August 1989 and June 1990. It has 24 tracks, eight of them previously unreleased, and was mastered by Alan Douches. Silver Current issued it on vinyl, CD and cassette, with 20/20/20 handling the digital release. Shout You Down comes from the Today sessions and I Wanna Live from the On Fire sessions. Wareham said he could see why some songs stayed in the vaults, but that they sounded very alive, like the band playing in the brick-walled room that was Noise New York. Yang said she could hear herself finding her way up the neck of the bass. It reached 87 on the UK album downloads chart.
