[edit] Rusty Water

On March 11, 1999, a promo CD titled Rusty Water was released via Virgin Records. The CD featured 13 tracks, most of which would later be re-recorded, edited, and remixed to become Come to Where I'm From. As this was not the official finalized release, few promos were made.

Rusty Water tracklisting:

1. "Crawlin' on Bones" (a.k.a. "Cockroach") - 3:04
2. "In the Sun" (Early Version) - 5:24
3. "Exhausted" (Early Version) - 4:03
4. "History" - 5:37
5. "Chemical" - 4:06
6. "Cocaine Blind" - 3:17
7. "Freeze You Out" - 4:30
8. "Tattoo" - 4:07
9. "Eyes on My Back" - 4:12
10. "In the Distance" - 3:24
11. "California" - 4:14
12. "Otherside" - 3:16
13. "Invisible Hands" - 5:26

The songs "Cocaine Blind" and "Otherside" (later re-named "The Other Side") appeared as B-sides to the "In the Sun" single. "California," "Freeze You Out," and "In the Distance" have not been released or re-recorded since this promo was issued.
