This is a collection of three “rarities” releases. Each features outtakes, alternate versions, and exclusive material. These go together nicely and have been remastered and combined on one compact disc.

This is absolutely one of my favorite reissues we've done. “Phuong Nam's (Honky-Tonk Version),” “Hello, Is Judy Home? (Original Version),” and “Let's Take a Walk (Version 1)” are among my all-time favorite Blanks tunes.

See each original release pages for more details and commentary.
