in the 1990s both studio releases by ram jam were packaged together as a german import record entitled "the very best of ram jam". however, the cover of the album features the same artwork as their self-titled debut, and "the very best of ram jam" album starts with the ten titles from "ram jam". this is followed by all ten titles from "portrait of the artist as a young ram". the titles from "portrait of the artist as a young ram" are slightly re-ordered. the first two songs ("gone wild", "pretty poison") are moved to the end on "the very best of ram jam".
