1 "Welcome to the Circus" - This is the opening track from Sean Delaney's 1979 album "Highway". Sean was a KISS roadie, tour manager, producer, co-writer, choreographer and more. He has been referred to by Bill Aucoin as "The Fifth Kiss". The "Highway" album tells the story of Sean's life throughout the seventies while he was involved with Kiss and is dedicated to the members of KISS.

2 "My Uncle Is A Raft" - This piece was probably written around the same time as "Stanley The Parrot", in
a somewhat autobiographical manner about Gene’s relationship with his uncle, Larry Klein. Gene and his mother would initially live with his uncle’s family following
their emigration to America in 1958. While the lyrics may be lame in the "rock" sense, they do show a possibly sentimental Gene. It is not clear whether Gene ever
demoed the piece, or whether it was simply a lyrical idea piece.
This would be one of the songs Gene played at the brief jam session at Steven Coronel's house at his first meeting with Paul Stanley and has been described, by Gene
as sounding similar to The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. This would be another of the early songs written by Gene: "My uncle is a raft / And he always keeps me floating /
He is so good to me / He treats me tenderly / It doesn’t matter who you are."
