Re-releases

The EP was remastered and re-released as part of the compilation Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid. "Bag Full of Thoughts" was lifted for the retrospective compilation A Collection of Songs Representing an Enthusiasm for Recording...By Amateurs. In 2014, it was re-released on vinyl, with the cover art altered to an abstract illustration of the original photograph used on the original release. The EP in its entirety was included on the rarities album Scratching the Door: The First Recordings of the Flaming Lips, with "Garden of Eyes" and "Forever Is A Long Time" being split into two separate tracks.

gollark: Okay, we have 12 active players, and 6 votes in favour of #213 right now. By section 2.2.3's "A majority of active players have voted in favour of the proposal, and there are more than 2 active players" option I believe this allows me to pass it.
