Yes.

As far as I know, JAM SCIENCE was never released in the States.  However,
there were two different European pressings.  Y-Records Netherlands got a hold
of some JAM SCIENCE demo tapes and released them.  This pressing comes with a
black cover and has a cartoon screw on it, and has eight tracks: earlier mixes
of six of the songs that ended up on the final release of JAM SCIENCE, and
two tracks that have never been released.  The final release (the one with
the box full of assorted colorful stuff on the cover) had ten tracks and was
pressed in West Germany and England.

>Is 'All Lined Up' on <<JAM SCIENCE>>?

No.  In the States it's on the album CARE.  I think that in Europe, it's
only on the album THE INFINITE, but I'm not sure.
