Re: 4 from twelve



It seems like there are two promotional samplers out there.

One with:
  1. Helpless
  2. Gimme Shelter
  3. Everybody Wants To Rule The World
  4. Pastime Paradise

And another with:
  1. Smells Like Teen Spirit
  2. Changing Of The Guards
  3. Helpless
  4. White Rabbit

The link was to an archive of the second sampler.

And after you've heard the banjo(s?) on Patti's Smells Like Teen
Spirit, give a listen to this:
