Volumes 1 & 2 is the first full-length album by The Desert Sessions. It features the ten tracks found on the original 10-inch EPs.
This album differs from subsequent collaborative Desert Sessions in that it was recorded solely by Josh Homme's band The Acquitted Felons.
Track listing[]
- "Preaching" – 0:44
- "Girl Boy Tom" – 4:25
- "Monkey in the Middle" – 2:47
- "Girl Boy Tom" – 2:52
- "Cowards Way Out" – 5:36
- "Robotic Lunch" (alternative version) – 5:22
- "Johnny the Boy" – 4:32
- "Screamin' Eagle" – 3:36
- "Cake (Who Shit on The?)" – 9:03
- "Man's Ruin Preach" – 0:50
The two "Girl Boy Tom" tracks are actually part of a single song. "Monkey in the Middle" is crammed between the two tracks with a fade out from "Girl Boy Tom" and fade back into "Girl Boy Tom". Thus the title "Monkey in the Middle" is a sort of play on titles, being the monkey in the middle. "Robotic Lunch" uses a different mix than found on the original EP.
