All of those are on "Home Demos," which has 29 tracks. Sorry, I 
don't have the two CDs with me, but I know that "Shrubberies" 
(which has 22 or so tracks) has one song that "Home Demos" 
doesn't. I think it's the original version of "The Kick Inside," 
but I'm not sure. Maybe it's "Moving."

Other than that one track and "Organic Acid" (which I've never 
heard), "Home Demos" has every track I've ever seen mentioned on 
this newsgroup. And it cost "only" $20 US versus "Shrubberies," 
which I'd bought earlier for $30 US. I know that the two CDs are 
from different sources entirely, because different 'obstructive 
noises' (scratches and 'warp waves') appear at different points 
in corresponding songs between the two CDs.
