Having achieved commercial success and plenty of critical acclaim, it may come as a surprise to some people to know that Clutch had a release on Earache Records way back in their early days, before the release of their first album. Now with their twelfth album Book of Bad Decisions in the can, Earache has brought back these early recordings on vinyl for the first time in over twenty-five years. Five tracks, including all three from the band's second ever single "Passive Restraints" which remains a key part of their set list to this day, as well as the track "Pile Driver," previously only available on the extremely rare 12" edition of Clutch's first ever single way back in 1991.
