Format: 24 Track tape
Producer: Rick Rubin
Lineup:
Chuck Biscuits: drums, tambourine
John Christ: electric and acoustic guitar
Glenn Danzig: keyboards, vocals
George Drakoulias: bass
Author: Glenn Danzig / Rick Rubin
Publisher: Def U.S.A. Music, Inc.
Notes: After signing with Def American, Danzig was asked by Rick Rubin to do a song for the "Less Than Zero" soundtrack. According to Eerie, "You & Me" was based on the song "To Sir With Love." It was the first time the Danzig lineup had recorded together and Eerie did not like the way Rubin wanted the bass played. He gave the bass to George Drakoulias, a producer. The band was credited as Glenn Danzig And The Power And Fury Orchestra. The rest of the musicians on the song were paid session musicians.

Notes: For the chimes (song 8), Danzig used his Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer. John Christ has said in an interview that "I'm The One" was originally recorded for the first album. Eerie played a faster version of "I'm The One" (possibly the 1988 version) on his telephone hotline in 1996. The "Mother" remixes were done in 1993 by The Louie Brothers. The live "Mother '93" remix is actually the studio version with crowd noise added.

Notes: Danzig mentioned "The Other Side" in an interview before the Danzig II - Lucifuge album was released. Eerie played "Cold, Cold Rain," which was not released because Danzig did not like the song, on his telephone hotline in 1996. For "Her Black Wings" John used the main riff from Black Sabbath's "Zero The Hero" (off the Born Again album). Danzig has said that "Killer Wolf" is a modified cover version of an old blues song.

Notes: "Livin' Doll" and "Black Rose" were mentioned in interviews as possible songs for the Danzig III album.

He also stated in a different interview that the band recorded "When Death Had No Name" and "Trouble" at each recording session up until they were finally released. "Buick Mackane" (erroneously listed as "Buick Mckane" and "Buick Mckain" in the liner notes of The Lost Tracks Of Danzig) was originally recorded by T. Rex. "Love And Pain" is on The Lost Tracks Of Danzig with the title "Pain Is Like An Animal".
