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.
