Displayed credits to Jaime Read and Insync vs. Mysteron do not appear on this release.

Tracks A1, A2, B2, B3, C1, C2, D1, D2, D3 were all taken without permission from a DAT cassette given to Joe Lewis in 1995 by UK artist Jaime Read. The DAT contained music made during a period when Read was recording at the studios of 10th Planet with assistance from Lee Purkis, Chris Hartley and David Manuel (the 3 of whom ran 10th Planet and recorded as Insync vs. Mysteron). 3 earlier tracks, titled on this release as "Snoopy Dancin'", "Piano" & "Netherlands", were recorded by Read at the studio of Justin David.

Read was keen to have his music released on Relief Records, a Chicago label with cult status in the underground UK scene. He gave the DAT to Joe Lewis for the purpose of giving to Relief as potential material for the label. Some time later a number of these tracks appeared on several releases credited to Joe Lewis/Louis, with no mention of the original artists involved: "Joe Lewis - Back To The Beginning" on Relief, "Joe Lewis - The Beginning And The Ending" on Target Records (US), and "Joe Lewis - Netherlands EP" on Basement 282.

10 years on, several of the tracks appeared on this album, which was released on both vinyl and Joe Lewis - The Return Of Joe Lewis, alongside a 12" entitled "Joe Lewis - He's Back". Again, no credits were given on the release to the artists responsible for the majority of the music.

The track titles shown for the tracks in question were given by Joe Lewis.
