Proposed track #12, "Whats New, Pussycat?" a Tom Jones cover was taken off of the album at the last minute because the band thought it didn't fit with the flow of the album. Anyway, according to information from Blood Music in 2013, it was never finished and does not exist.
Recording information:
Recorded at Armory Studios (Vancouver, Canada), Greenhouse Studios (Vancouver, Canada) and The Dev Lab (Pitt Meadows, Canada).
