Notes:
- This is the very 1st fan club CD.
- 1600 copies exist.
- The three cover songs: Tears by Rush, Damage Inc. by Metallica and Red Hill Mining Town by U2 were selections from the Uncovered show that didn't make it to A Change of Seasons.
- Oh Holy Night was taken from a sound check.
- This is the only fan club CD to have messages from the band.
- The cover art was deliberately created to look like a bootleg.
- Barney Greenway of the death metal band Napalm Death sings lead vocals on Damage, Inc.
- Rush has never performed the song Tears live, but Dream Theater has.
