2019年ゲフィン・レコードのA&R、トム・ズータウのロッカーから流出し話題となっていた「CHINESE DEMOCRACY」のCD19ディスクにも渡る通称「THE VILLAGE SESSIONS」の第2弾が登場!今回は元の19ディスクの中、13ディスクに収録された音源を4枚に纏めて収録。今回もクレジット、音源共に手を加えない資料的価値を重視した構成で、1曲のミックス、ヴァージョン違いを複数収録した内容となっており、これらが録音された2001年までロイ・トーマス・ベイカーがプロデューサーとしてクレジットされております。また当時から情報があった1999年?と思われる「WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE」の再録音もインストながら今回初登場で、VOL.1と併せてトム・ズータウのロッカーから流出した音源全て網羅した今年最大の注目タイトル第2弾です!disc one New Brain Drums J587 184 6/27/01 01.
