D004 - The Forgotten Bits is a haphazard compilation by Booji Boy's Basement containing all outtakes found until this release and demos not present on D001, D002, and D003. The quality is largely acceptable, although there are some moments of battered tape sources, hiss, and distortion.
A highlight is the final seven tracks; a pristine-quality 1982 rehearsal featuring the only studio takes of Freedom Of Choice Theme/Whip It and Girl U Want EZ known to exist. Half of it is sourced from a mysterious mp3 bootleg circulating on the internet, half of which was common and the other half was previously unheard. Tracks marked with an asterisk are mp3-sourced.

- NOTE: This is the real track-list that is burnt to audio CDs by Booji Boy's Basement. The track-listing on the website is missing Stop, Look, And Listen. The data (FLACs and source mp3s) burnt on request to DVD-Rs includes all of the bootleg, including two Frauleins; both the same take, but from different sources. (The worse Fraulein is not included on the audio disc.)
