  1. "Jailbreak"
  2. "Urethane"
  3. "Coyote Duster" (live)

"Jailbreak" was a "test recording" with J. Yuenger of White Zombie to determine if they would get along. (This was stated by Scott Hill in an interview.[citation needed]) They apparently did, as Yuenger later produced their album, The Action Is Go.

Both versions of "Jailbreak" are out of print.
