This is a single album version of They Might Be Giants’ compilation album Then: The Earlier Years. It was pretty easy to make since I just had to cut out all the material previously released on their first two albums and their first compilation album Miscellaneous T. I had this version of the album on my computer for years before remembering that it’s technically a single album version of a double album release.
Five of the songs were previously released on the 1985 demo tape and two of the five previously appeared on The Statue Got Me High EP. Because of this I’m also including the song Hell Hotel from the demo tape which was the only track to never be re-released.
