Miscellaneous T

Trouser Press called the compilation a "neat if uneven appendix to the longplaying oeuvre." The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that it "reveals TMBG's enormous depth of material." ==Song notes==

The tracks are grouped according to the singles they originally appeared with: • 1–3: "Purple Toupee" (unreleased) • 5–7: "They'll Need a Crane" • 9–14: "(She Was A) Hotel Detective" • 15–18: "Don't Let's Start" The 13th track, which has no name listed on the album's track listing, is not actually a song, but a snippet of a recording inadvertently left on the TMBG Dial-A-Song answering machine, in which a confused listener named Gloria talks to an unknown third party about the mystery of "There May Be Giants" and "There Must Be Giants", as she mistakenly refers to the band. It would later be referenced when Bryant Gumbel referred to them as "They Must Be Giants" when they performed "Your Racist Friend" on the Today Show to promote the release of Flood. "Lady Is a Tramp" is a cover of a song from the Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms. ==Track listing==
