Original notes:

You're With Me There: The single mix of You're With Me There, and a string-band arrangement of Same Old Same Old with Karl Shank singing backup.

One:"Two from the upcoming full-length release [solipschism -ed.], and a live track from sessions with Mike Deaton."

Satisfaction Guaranteed:"Another track from the upcoming full-length release, a rousing pop song, and a studio track by Easley and Deaton." On the original cdr release of this single, a rather long "hidden track" followed Automobile. That track was Suite for Machines No. 1, which can now be found on the Dan Easley Archive Series Volume Two.
