Addt'l Aerosmith Bonus tracks; FYI

For those who already know that there are three bonus tracks on the extended version of MFAD, that according to Andrew's review of the album I would have to agree with...
Up on the Mountain - horrible. WTH, WTF, and all of the above.
Oasis in the Night - really horrible.nuff said.
Sunny Side of Love - an average ballad, definitely b-side quality...though considering the other dismal track in the original album, those others should have been pulled and this stuck in their place.
However, there are two additional bonus tracks that are floating around that I was able to "acquire":
Shakey Ground - This is "cover" tune, originally by the Temptations. I must say this has classic Aerosmith stamped all over it!!! There was Honkin on Bobo that was all covers a few years back - but damn this track has it grooves, and sounds and that 70's sound that Aerosmith had back in the day...horns, vocals, basic live sounding track.
I'm Not Talkin' - This is another "cover" tune originally covered by Mose Allison. This is one of those classic, rock-a-billy, jazz, rock tunes from the 1960's. Not to many people know or even heard of the original, luckily I have, and it's a fun little song, right up Aerosmith's alley.
The whole sad part of this, is that these 2 additional bonus track, which happens to be cover tunes, are the absolute best damn songs of the entire album series!!!
