From Jersey It Came! The Smithereens Anthology is a two-disc, career-spanning compilation album by the Smithereens, released in 2004. It features most of the band's singles, as well as album and EP tracks, non-album B-sides and a handful of rarities. [2]
The album contains 39 songs spanning 1980 to 1999, and includes five previously unreleased tracks: a 1980 demo of "Elaine"; the surf rock instrumental, "Back to Balboa"; a 1987 live recording of "White Castle Blues"; an alternate mix of "Cut Flowers"; and a 1992 demo of "Love is Gone".
Also included are an alternate mix of "Everything I Have Is Blue", which was only released as a promotional single; two B-sides, " One After 909" and an instrumental mix of "If You Want the Sun to Shine"; and The Smithereens' version of " Downbound Train", originally recorded for the Bruce Springsteen tribute album, One Step Up/Two Steps Back: The Songs of Bruce Springsteen.
