Volumes 1 & 2 is the first full length album by The Desert Sessions. It features the seven tracks found on the original 10 inch singles, plus three bonus tracks.

This album differs from the others in that it is actually Josh Homme's band The Acquitted Felons playing for three days straight on psilocybin mushrooms.

Tracks marked with a * are bonus tracks

• the two Girl Boy Tom tracks are actually part of a single song. Monkey In The Middle is crammed between the two sections with a fade out from Girl Boy Tom and fade back into Girl Boy Tom. hence a sort of play on titles with Monkey In The Middle being the monkey in the middle.
