• The liner notes indicate this is a direct continuation of Dream Theater's history, which started with The Majesty Demos.
• Ressurection of Ernie was based on John Myung "levitating" the ernie that sat on Mike Portnoy's drumkit during the song.
• The X-Mas demo was the last time Mike's 4-track was used, to create a gift demo for freinds and family.
• Mike can be heard getting pissed off at John Petrucci at the end of Mission: Impossible.
• The version of A Vision is abridged from the version on The Majesty Demos.
• There is a 13th "hidden" track on the second disc, I'm calling this one "studio chat" because it also appeared on the "Stranger Than Fiction: A Collection of Rare Recordings" bootleg, and that's what it was called there.
