This collection gathers all the pre-The Modern Dance recordings - the four Hearpen 45s and the unreleased Untitled. The original 45-release mixes of Street Waves and Modern Dance are included. Remixes of these two recordings were released on The Modern Dance.
The analog 1/4" two-track mix masters from 1975 to 1977 were digitally transferred by Paul Hamann at Suma at a 192khz / 24 bit resolution. The resultant digital files were mastered by Brian Pyle.
