The word 'Preview' is misspelt in the title of this release as 'Prieview'. This typo is present on both the front cover and the disc itself.

This 'Songs From Black Mountain' sampler contains the first single 'The River' in full, plus approximately 30-second clips of 4 other tracks from the album.

[0:06] - 01. Hi, this is Ed from Live, and you're listening to our brand new single, 'Heaven'
[0:06] - 02. Hi, this is Ed from Live, and you're listening to our new single
[0:03] - 03. Hi, this is Ed from Live, and you're listening to tracks from our new album, 'Birds of Pray'


This CD-R acetate is only 15 seconds in length, and contains no music. It is just Ed Kowalczyk saying pretty much the phrases that are listed as the tracks on this disc. He doesn't say exactly those words, but it's very close. There is no background music or anything like that. It's just Ed saying a couple sentences.

The disc itself wrongly states that each track is 2 minutes in length. This is not true. All the tracks are the album versions of the songs.

[1:22] - 01. Selling the Drama
[2:13] - 02. White, Discussion
[1:32] - 03. I Alone


This release does not really have a catalog number, although the matrix number includes the string 'SAM 73 CD'. This has generally been accepted by collectors as the release's catalog number. The European 'Shit Towne' promo CD single [SAM 70 CD] has a catalog number which is very similar to the generally accepted one for this release. This helps suggest that an official catalog number for this release might be 'SAM 73 CD'.

This is quite possibly the very first release the band put out under the name Live. It's an advance sampler for their debut album 'Mental Jewelry'. There is no print on the second side of the cassette. The spine simply reads 'LIVE'. On both the spine and the front cover, there is a dash in black pen above the 'i' in 'Live' to signify that the band name is pronounced with the long 'i' sound.
