Note
'These tracks come from varied sources, including very lo-fi live recordings. Aside from the fact that they contain some strange, wild & often shambolic music, they might have the merit of documenting the transitions between the various phases* of the still-unfolding Aksak Maboul story.

Track 1 belongs to what can be described as Phase One of Aksak Maboul (1977-78). Tracks 2 to 6 exemplify Phase Two (1978-79). Tracks 7 to 9 are from Phase Three (1980-81). Phase Four is Ex-Futur Album (1981-83 and 2014). Track 10 marks the beginning of Phase Five, in 2015.'
