==About==On some bootleg copies/clones, the first track is given the "fan-title" of "Slate" or "Theme from the Right Track". These recordings were long believed to be demos that were sent to record labels, but the story has since become clearer and more detailed due to info from original NIN drummer [[Ron Musarra]], who shared the following in a comment to a YouTube commentupload[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR26Fo1972c] of ''Purest Feeling'':
<blockquote>This is a recording of us live in the studio {Right Track} rehearsing for an [[VIVIsectVI Tour|upcoming tour]], I played drums, you can hear me count us in... Gretsch 14" chrome over wood snare, 20" kik/ Simmons pads triggering an Emax, Paiste cymbals, [[Sean Beavan]] in the control room engineering.</blockquote>
