Original pressings of the disc came with a bonus CD titled This is Serious Mum which was, as the title indicated, a collection of bedroom recordings 1982 - 1992. This disc appeals to the hardcore TISM fan because every track on it has been in TISM's possession only and never before available, save for a few heavily edited tracks which appeared on Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance (1988). Other notable appearances on this disc are two early versions of songs, which gives fans a brief look at how TISM worked with songs in the studio. I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Whittle Away My Furniture is noticeably slower than its release on Hot Dogma (1990) and You're Only As Good As Your Fans is a completely different style to the version renamed Play Mistral For Me which was released on Machiavelli and the Four Seasons (1995).
