Can I be so cheeky to ask Nick (or anyone who cares to answer) what was the alternative to Welcome to the Neighbourhood?
Although I felt it was a good-ish album it felt lacking in parts. No doubt it was rushed by record industry wanting to capitalise on Bat 2.

Thanks for the kind words. We were a bit stiff, in retrospect, but I think it served its purpose pretty well.
As for FREAK -- it's a GREAT record.
I mean, they're demos, but they're PRO 'in the studio' demos.
They sound like the real deal.
The only reason I didn't go into detail back then was due to the legal stuff. Shame it'll probably never see the light of day. It would've been Meat's 'Tommy' (or, better yet, to this ear, at least -- his 'Quadrophenia').
There's a total of 12 tracks on FREAK.
First is titled OVERTURE.
Last is ... NOT A DRY EYE!
EDIT: Oh, and letsgotoofar is right, Sammy Hagar's 'Amnesty' is on there, too.
It's track 10.
