The Summer 1989 acoustic Reel Time Studios sessions was booked to record live-only favorites such as "Razor" and "I Am My End". Unfortunately drummer Jimmy Chamberlin didn't show up and, since the studio time was prepaid, it morphed into an acoustic session. This was noted as a sloppy session with many false starts. D'Arcy Wretzky was present but did not perform. While "Vanilla" appeared on the Pisces Iscariot 2012 Remaster, the rest of the session leaked as a bootleg sourced from a DAT of unmastered final mixes that belonged to Mike Potential.
