The tracks include "Siva", "Girl Named Sandoz" (The Animals cover), and "Smiley". All recordings but "Smiley" were included on either Pisces Iscariot or the deluxe reissue of Gish. "Girl Named Sandoz" is a reference to Sandoz Laboratories, where LSD was invented.
The band showed up two hours late to the sessions due to a technical misunderstanding. Billy Corgan spoke lowly of the experience, citing the poor treatment by the production crew, but added that this in turn forced the band to give a more powerful performance:
"Recorded for our first bbc session, we were led like lambs to the slaughter bya bored ex-rock star (who was assigned to us as session producer) and his chief assistant (a cockney who hated our too-loud sound). we were mocked for asking any question, and each and every request to change a sound was met with a fake turning of the knobs; to which ii yelled "do you think im deaf and can't hear you haven't done anything?" the upside from this charade was that in anger we played with ferocious might; one of the few documents we have in studio that captures the way we were meant to destroy music and each other be exalting in its ad infinitum power."
The photos used for the album artwork were taken by James Iha.
