I have always wondered if the “Underground” in this release goes with the band name (like how Lifesavors became Lifesavers Underground) or the demo title (as in this is an “underground” release). I would guess it goes with the demo title. This is a part live/part studio recordings of songs, some of which are also on other tapes. “CF4,” “CF6,” “Torn,” and “Requiem” seem to only appear on this demo. The Worthless Records page noted that some of these songs were recorded in studio – I would guess “CF4” and all of side 2 based on the lack of audience noise on the recordings. The cover is actually a full page printed on both sides and folded into a j-card that is too large to add here.
