That said, a couple goodies here that make the whole disc worth the cost of admission. First, the inclusion of The Yardbirds' "Over Under Sideways Down" - lotta fun. Second is the eleven-minute take on "Mercy Mercy," which completely blows the original under-three-minute All Fall Down version clear out the water. And the twelve plus minute performance of "You Don't Scare Me" is absolutely incredible.
This album was re-released in 2000 with all new packaging and an additional disc of live material entitled When Numbers Get Serious culled from various performances in the 90s. The first nine-tracks of Numbers are complete songs - occasionally of bootleg quality. The following six tracks are live excerpts for various songs that spotlight the musicianship of the members - vaguely reminiscent of Zappa's Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar.
