Notes

• The audio level on this disc is VERY LOW. It's poorly mixed with bass and drums dominating the sound. However, if you turn the bass way down and the volume way up, you can actually coax a pretty decent sound out of this disc with the last few tracks being the most listenable.
• The liner notes indicate that "studio chatter is present" and other members "noodling around". This is a gross exaggeration or even just a bold faced lie. Unless, you consider Dave saying "Take one" at the begining of track #9 to be "studio chatter". Any "extra noodling" cannot be heard.
• The cover of the disc is EXACTLY like the official WACF release except that the background is red instead of green. The liner notes are copied directly from the offical release, too, but with the following paragraph added: "Contained on this CD are working versions of the songs that appeared on the finished album. The tracks are in various stages of completion, while some have different lyrics, others have no vocals at all! Studio chatter is present on some, on others various members can be heard noodling around on their respective instruments and so on. The variations are numerous and a good listen proves to be a fascinating study in observing a particular period of one of the most innovative and successful bands ever to emerge on the rock scene. Van Halen, Warner Special Projects and The Van Halen Fan Club have made a limited edition of this CD available to members only, free of charge as a thank you for their unfailing support and dedication over the years."
• In the top left corner of the liner notes, there is the number "PRO-5150". On the back of the CD, again a direct ripoff of the official release (with different track list obviously). The following line was added just above the copyright notice: "FAN CLUB ISSUE ONLY - NOT FOR SALE PRO-5150" Adjacent to the WB logo, is a Roaring Mouse logo.
• The rest of the inside has four large individual pictures and one small group shot. It has the same credits, with the following differences:
  • On the real WACF: "Cover Concept, Creative Consultant, Road Production Director: Pete Angelus". "Assistant to the Manager: Diane Livingston. Art Director: Richard Seireeni."
  • On the Studio Sessions: "Cover Concept, Creative Consultant: The Fool and The Atomic Punk. Art Director Pete Angelus." "Assistant to the Manager: Diane Livingston. Art Directors: The Fool and The Atomic Punk."
  • Guitar Technician: Robin "Rude" Leiren on the original has a line over the "e" on Rude, on the Studio Session, no line over the "e".
• The disc itself is plain with simple text and with NO reference to Van Halen or WB at all. The title of the disc is "Buns and Tits First" and the number is BTF-449. It also indicates the disc is DDD and has the standard "all rights reserved" notice on there.
