Notes:
- These recordings are taken from the private collection of Cozy Powell.

- This is the complete and ultimate set of Dehumanizer demos, featuring many different versions of songs that appeared on the Dehumanizer album and songs that didn't make the cut.

- The first two tracks of CD 2 are actually from The Geezer Butler Band in the mid '80s featuring Carl Sentence on vocals. They feature early versions of "Master of Insanity" and "Computer God", although "Computer God" doesn't sound anything like what ended up on the Dehumanizer album "Master of Insanity" is very, very similar.

- CD 2 also features "Letters From Earth" with different lyrics and two songs that didn't make the album, "Bad Blood" and "The Next Time".

- CD 3 features a version of "Computer God" that is lyrically nothing like the one on the album but musically the same, also a few instrumental rehearsals of the track, as well as a short conversation between Ronnie and Cozy.

- The only reason Cozy wasn't on the final cut of the album was because soon after these demos he broke his pelvis in a horse riding accident and was unable to play for a short time. Dio wanted to bring Simon Write in (from Dio's last album 'Lock up the Wolves') but Iommi and Butler decided he sounded to AC/DCish and brought back Vinny Appice.
