The Colour and The Shape - Bonus Track Information

Bonus Track Information

• "Down in the Park" was recorded in January 1996 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington. It was originally released on Songs in the Key of X in 1996. Early takes of "My Hero" and "Enough Space" were also recorded during the session, as well as a new take of a much older Grohl composition entitled "Butterflies". Another unreleased song, "I'm Alone Again", was said to be done at these sessions.
• "Weenie Beenie" and "Winnebago" were recorded on July 9, 1996 at La Maline in the Île de Ré, a private show organised by Fun Radio.
• "The Colour and the Shape" was recorded during the sessions at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, Washington.
• An acoustic verion of "Everlong" was recorded during the WGNS Studios sessions, but was only released years later on Greatest Hits and as a B Side to the "Word Foward" single.
• "Dear Lover" was recorded during the sessions at Grandmaster Recorders in Hollywood, California. It was released as a B-Side to the UK and Australian versions of the My Hero single and on the Scream 2 soundtrack, but not as a single. It was also included as a bonus track (#14) on the Japanese release of the album.
• "Make a Bet" was recorded during the Grandmaster Recorders sessions, but was only released years later on the CD2 version of the "Learn to Fly" single and the "Next Year" EP. This song dates back to April 1992, when an instrumental version was recorded by Grohl, his sister Lisa and friend Mike Nelson, under the alias "Allister Lobb". It was later reworked into a more polished version, with extra guitar tracks and drumming on October 18, 2001 (with Taylor Hawkins and Chris Shiflett) at Studio 606; retitled "Win or Lose". This version was released on the Out Cold soundtrack, "The One" single and the CD1 version of the "All My Life" single.
• "Requiem", "Drive Me Wild", and "Baker Street" were recorded at Maida Vale Studios in London for the BBC Radio 1 programme The Evening Session on April 30, 1997.
• "Walking After You" was re-recorded in 1998 by the full band (with recent additions Taylor Hawkins and Franz Stahl) and released as a single for The X-Files: The Album instead of "Hey, Johnny Park!".
• "Everlong" and "Monkey Wrench" have appeared as playable songs in both the Rock Band and Guitar Hero series of video games. The entire album is available for the Rock Band series, but with the exception of "Everlong," which is on the Rock Band 2 disc, all of the songs must be purchased as downloadable content.
• The Rock Band version of "My Poor Brain" uses a drum track, similar to Goldsmith's style, that is different than the ones used in the album.
