All Wound Up (album)

All Wound Up is the demo album by American rock band Godsmack. It was released independently by EK Records on July 28, 1997. It was eventually edited, remastered and re-released as the band's first studio album, Godsmack, with the song "Going Down" (later written "Goin' Down") only available on the Japanese edition and the introduction to "Get Up, Get Out!" split into its own track, titled "Someone in London". "Going Down" later appeared on the soundtrack to the film Mission: Impossible 2 as well as the band's second studio album Awake.

Different editions

Four different versions of this album exist. The first and the second edition only differ because of a member misprint in the booklet. The misprint of the first edition mentions "Tony" (Rombola) also on drums. That's corrected in the second edition, where you can read "Joe" (D'Arco) on drums. The third edition's characteristic feature is an added bonus CD with the track "Whatever" included on it. The fourth edition differs from all the others in two cases: The hidden track at the end of the eleventh track, "Witch Hunt", is removed and a twelfth track, "Whatever" (also not mentioned elsewhere on the release), is added.
