* "Wicked Garden", "Naked Sunday", "Piece of Pie", and "Where the River Goes" also appear on the "Mighty Joe Young Demo" and were re-recorded for "Core". There was also a song on the demo called "Piece of Pie", but it is a completely different song than the song on "Core" of the same name, except for the fact that they have the same guitar solo and bass line.
*"Core" was released on the same day as theAlice in Chains album "Dirt", another important album from thegrunge era.Charts
