The artwork seems sourced from old fan-created stuff, so I wouldn't read too much into that. As for the latter parts of the thing, it seems like they just tacked the FAEOMM tape on after MII, removed tracks that were on official releases, and filled out space with random stuff from 1997-Djali Zwan. I'll agree that's a weird choice, but maybe they just didn't want to have a whole side with nothing on it or whatever.
I'm not trying to insinuate this is some magical objectively superior way to listen to MII or anything, but just saying it does sound pretty goddamned good, so I feel like either whoever put it together probably did a lot of work on it, or, against all odds, maybe someone out there got ahold of Billy's stolen tapes?
