Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight radio show, recorded for WXRK in New York on November 2, 1986.

As with The Alternate I Feel Alright, this set of demos/rough mixes doesn't sound drastically different from the finished product.

The Vin Scelsa interview is one of the best interviews with Steve Earle I've heard, ranging over his time with Townes, the songwriting process, the nature of country music and chili-eating contests. The music is a combination of tracks played from the album (Someday and Think It Over) and in-studio acoustic performances.

Note: The alternate back cover has been amended to include the Vin Scelsa interview.
