Twenty-some extremely rare demos, live, acoustic, B-sides, comp tracks by Social D. and still without great overlap with our last few boots. While there are, obviously, some justifiable throwaways here, there are some excellent items here including a beeped by by our ever-more-timid major labels version of the Clash's "Death of Glory".
I removed a few obvious gaffes from this compilation (including the frequently mis-attributed versions of "Pretty in Pink" and "Tainted Love" that are actually by Automatic 7 and Shades Apart, respectively) but since there was some solo Ness material already, I added this live duet on "Bad Luck" with big-time Social D fan, Bruce Springsteen.

Man, you may have just given me an idea for a post but here's one of many Bruce endorsements of the band:
“I’m still a big Social Distortion fan … one of the not-heralded-enough great American rock bands”. (from Rolling Stone).
I can't grab this. Mediafire is taking over two hours to download it. I thought it was my pc, but then stuff from rapidshare and megaupload downloaded in the usual minutes.
