The words Don Van Vliet and "If You Got Ears" in white on black scroll appear on the CD but no label name. Says MADE IN THE EEC LUXEMBOURG.The notes say "It's over a decade since the Captain last entered a recording studio and if rumours of his ill health are true, it's unlikely he will ever again. He gave up music to live in the Mojave dessert and indulge his first love, painting. So, for those that miss that magnificent voice, here, as a taster of things to come, is a selection of rare, unissued and alternative studio and live cuts. As the Captain said: 'If you got ears, you gotta listen.' ".
