Additional Information
The compilation draws on The Haunted’s recordings from 1966 to 1968 and also includes two related recordings by other Montreal groups.

‘Pourquoi (Talk Talk)’ is performed by Le Spectre. The group is not credited as the performer on this release.

‘I’m a Man’ is performed by Our Generation, the group Bob Burgess subsequently joined with Louis McKelvey.

‘St. Louis Blues’ is the same Haunted recording otherwise titled ‘Montreal Blues’.

‘Vapeur Mauve’ is the French-language adaptation of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Purple Haze’.

The labels state: “Due to unavailability of certain master recordings, surface noise may be evident on certain tracks.”

The rear sleeve contains a history of The Haunted together with a discography of The Haunted and the related group Our Generation.
