Notes

This CD was distributed in a cardboard sleeve, placed randomly into can packs of Labatt beer. The other artists part of this promotion were Lee Aaron, The Headstones, Junkhouse, and Sven Gali.

CD recipients would play the disc, hear a message from that particular musician, and then find out if they'd won one of 5000 full albums by the aforementioned artists. Non-winning CDs could be mailed to PolyGram for a $2 rebate on the purchase of an album by one of these artists.

The skill-testing question was [(5+40)x16] / 8, equalling 90.

If you got this Bootsauce CD, you would be treated to this message by Drew Ling:

Crack of Dawn - Lyrics

Gotta love your fellow 'nother one
And treat them like a saviour can (Don't pay no mind to what they say)
I worked so and want to see Don't wanna be a preacher man
(Don't pay no mind to what they say)

Crack of dawn! (crack of dawn)
Crack of dawn! (baby)
Crack of dawn! (crack of dawn)
Crack of dawn! (baby-baby)

Gonna wash that brother of his mind You're busting in the welfare line
(Don't waste your time on those that hate)
Ya feed the rich and fuck the poor
And bust the things that people say
(Don't waste your time on those that hate)

Crack of dawn! (crack of dawn)
Crack of dawn! (baby)
Crack of dawn! (crack of dawn)
Crack of dawn! (baby-baby)

Don't lose your papers, boy-oh-boy
You're checking out from losing tail
(Don't pay no mind to what they say)
You dig too deep and pave the way
And watch them fuck their bread away
(They dig too deep and fade away)

(Crack of...crack of...) (x 4)

Crack of dawn! (crack of dawn)
Crack of dawn! (baby)
Crack of dawn! (crack of dawn)
Crack of dawn! (baby-baby)
