Disc 2: Martin + Me Live in the USA 1995 Live versions of the complete Martin + Me album performed in 1995, plus the previously unreleased bonus track “Grab It” (3:52).

Disc 3: Live in Copenhagen, 1998 (Exclusive - Previously Unreleased) A complete 14-track acoustic performance recorded live in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1998 for Sveriges Radio. This disc represents the main draw of the compilation, featuring entirely unreleased material produced by Nenne Zetterberg.

Exclusive Copenhagen Recording

The Copenhagen disc showcases J Mascis in 1998, five years after the CBGB’s show and three years after Martin + Me. This performance captures his evolved acoustic approach, featuring reimagined versions of Dinosaur Jr. classics like “Little Fury Things” and “The Lung,” alongside solo material.

Notable tracks include a medley opening of “The Lung / Blowin’ It” and the brief but powerful “Alone” (1:00). The set concludes with his acoustic interpretation of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Every Mother’s Son,” demonstrating his continued exploration of diverse cover material.

The compilation was released on January 29, 2021, with design by Keith Davey and art direction by Hugh Brown and Julie Vlasak. Pre-orders included a special 4x4 cm pin. The Copenhagen recordings were licensed courtesy of Sveriges Radio, making this the first official release of this material over 20 years after it was recorded.
