RIAA: n/a

   01. Everybody Knows				(3:20) - Simmons
   02. You're My Reason For Living		(4:23) - Simmons

Produced by Gene Simmons. This bonus CD was issued with some copies of Gene's "Sex Money KISS" book, and elsewhere, and features two previous unreleased demos from the early 1990s.

Both tracks used Simmons' Records band Silent Rage as the backing group. Track 02 was an unused piece dating from the "Revenge" era. According to Jesse Damon, the song demo was "Recorded sometime between 1991-93... I absolutely thought it was a smash hit, not our demo, I mean the song itself, the chorus 'You're My Reason For Livin,' say's it all" (JG). Whatever the case the song is stylistically similar to material Gene later recorded, notably "Journey Of 1,000 Years," for the "Psycho Circus" album and can be seen as being a latter-day "Great Expectations." The version of this track released on the "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" Bonus CD differs from this 2003 issue.
