The “if I want to play some fucking leads, I’m going to play some fucking leads” album that Ivo over at 4AD Records refused to release, thus ending Red House Painters’ contract with them. No worries, as this album was picked up by John Hughes’ imprint Supreme Recordings, a division of Island Record. “Long Distance Runaround” differs from the Ocean Beach 2×10″ version, and “All Mixed Up” appears in the film Excess Baggage.

“The first disc was hand-picked by Ivo Watts-Russell and gives an insight into his perceptions of the band. His only limitations were physical. They had to fit on one CD. The rarities on disc two were compiled by the band from demos and live recordings spanning the years 1989-1995.” Original title: Red Perspective
