  • The House of Pain remix of "Just Look Around" was originally prevented from release by the record label of House of Pain. As a response Sick Of It All made bootlegs of the song and gave them away at various shows. Since the original recording tape could not be used, the version on this CD was taken from one of the bootlegs.
