, owner of the copyright on the recordings in question, denied the band use of the samples (even though Leary himself did not mind). Bootlegs of the track were highly sought by fans. It was later released by the band as a limited edition CD called "Track 10" in 2000. Several different mixes of "Left Handshake" appear to exist, one of which does not have Ogre's lyrics and has a much denser instrumental mix.

Initial pressings of the disc released in Australia, and possibly elsewhere, were flawed because the track divisions were off by 4 seconds. This means the first 4 seconds are missing from the album, and there are an extra 4 seconds of silence at the end. Other copies released in North America had the same issue, except the first 39 seconds of the album were missing. It should also be noted, on this pressing, the track markers follow the original track times, and thus the first song ends 39 seconds before the end of track 1, and likewise, each song after starts within the track before it.

No lyrics are included in the packaging, as Ogre considered them to be too personal.
