"Sista" appears here in a live version, filed under John Butler, the John Butler Trio's debut full-length, which came out on 27 December 1998. It catches the band in its earliest shape: Butler on 12-string guitar and lead vocals, Jason McGann on drums and percussion and Gavin Shoesmith on double bass, all three credited on this take.

Butler wrote the words and music and produced it himself, which fits the album around it, where every song was his to write, arrange and produce, bar one borrowed chorus. That record was made the same December at Studio Couch in Fremantle, with George Nikoloudis and Shaun O'Callaghan engineering and mixing, and it was launched at Mojos Bar in North Fremantle.
