I've been trying to track down all of the officially released non-album tracks that Liz has released. I have put together a list of all the tracks (65) and have either originals or full quality copies of all of them except for:
Take A Look (from MTV2 Spankin' New Music 2002 Edition!) is an alternate mix compared to the forthcoming album version.
Love/Hate (alternate promo version?)
Why Can't I (alternate promo version?)
Red Light Fever (demo) (from Japanese Liz Phair release?)
Extraordinary (from Today's Best Mix Volume 6)
I do have MP3's of all of these or at least I think I do. The problem is the source of these MP3's is unknown in many cases. I have uploaded these MP3's here.

I would appreciate any help with identifying the source of these tracks. I'd love to hear anybodies thoughts on them but I would especially like to hear from people who have original CD's with the tracks in question on them so that their source can be definitively identified and I know what to look for to complete my collection.
I'll provide what information I have on these tracks.
The track identified as Take A Look (original mix) was supposedly taken from the Capital promo with the shoes on the cover http://www.blissandphetish.com/node/122. I was told it is different from the self-titled version but I don't hear any differences. Does anyone else hear any differences between the track I uploaded and the the self-titled? Has anyone heard the alternate mix on MTV2 Spankin' New Music 2002 Edition? http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/...v2_spankin.html. If so how does it differ from the self-titled version? Finally does anyone know if the version on the Capital shoes promo is the same as the version on Spankin' New Music 2002 Edition?
Love Hate is clearly a different track and I've been told that it came from one of the Liz Phair promos. However I have a friend who has the promo with the Liz on the bar stool http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/...ir_advance.html as well as the white cover promo http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/...ir_acetate.html and he tells me that the version I uploaded is not on either. The track length is different between the two and the discography at Mesmerizing suggests that white cover promo is shorter than the actual self-titled release. The alternate version is missing the count-in and also lacks the swirling synthesizers at the beginning among other differences. Can anyone say for certain where this alternate version originated?
Why Can't I has more subtle differences, perhaps the most identifiable difference is that the drums begin at 6 seconds rather than at 12 seconds as on the self-titled official release. Again I was told that this track originated on one of the promos but again my friend who has the promo with the Liz on the bar stool http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/...ir_advance.html as well as the white cover promo http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/...ir_acetate.html tells me there are no differences. Can anyone say for certain where this alternate version originated?
I got this copy of Red Light Fever with two other self-titled era demos (Liar and Rapids) that apparently originated on Limewire. However unlike the other tracks this one might have been released officially on the Japanese version of the self titled http://www.blissandphetish.com/node/138. The track length matches exactly that given on the link. Does anyone here have the Japanese version and can confirm that this demo version is indeed on it in place of the version released in the US?
