Volumes 1 & 2 is the first full-length album by The Desert Sessions. It features the ten tracks found on the original 10-inch EPs.
This album differs from subsequent collaborative Desert Sessions in that it was recorded solely by Josh Homme's band The Acquitted Felons.

Notes
- The two "Girl Boy Tom" tracks are actually part of a single song. "Monkey in the Middle" is crammed between the two tracks with a fade out from "Girl Boy Tom" and fade back into "Girl Boy Tom". Thus the title "Monkey in the Middle" is a sort of play on titles, being the monkey in the middle.
- "Robotic Lunch" uses a different mix than found on the original EP.
