FACTS
The Pains' self-titled song appeared on the expanded Painbow version of the debut EP and then was re-recorded to serve as the b-side of the Everything With You single. It appeared on special editions that compiled the B-sides from the first album era, such as Japanese expanded CDs and European bonus EPs. It is also one of the songs tracked for the band's Black Session recording in France. Despite never appearing on an album, it has been a live fixture for years, often as the final song of the main set (or overall).
