Rusty Water

On March 11, 1999, a promo CD titled Rusty Water was released via Virgin Records. The CD featured 13 tracks, most of which would later be re-recorded, edited, and remixed to become Come to Where I'm From. As this was not the official finalized release, few promos were made.

  1. "Crawlin' on Bones" (a.k.a. "Cockroach") – 3:04
  2. "In the Sun" (Early Version) – 5:24
  3. "Exhausted" (Early Version) – 4:03
  4. "History" – 5:37
  5. "Chemical" – 4:06
  6. "Cocaine Blind" – 3:17
