Introduction to Hate is, "Ladies and Gentlemen, from Boisie, Idaho... direct from the Paramount Theatre... 12 year-old, little Billy Corgan" with "Corgan" backwards-masked. An untitled instrumental track, given the moniker "Outromental" by Robert Conte, should have been included as a teaser some 30 seconds after the end of track 12, unfortunately it was not and only appears on some copies of the advance tape. 2005 reissue has no differences to original 1997 release.
