Notes

Originally released by Okra-Tone Records in the U.S.A. Released in the UK by Heavenly Records.

Tracks 5, 10 and 12 recorded at Bearsville Sound, Woodstock, New York City in December 1972.

All other selections recorded at The Hit Factory, New York City in the spring of 1973.

Despite the above, this album was never before released, until now. This was due to United Artists Records- the label for which this release was originally recorded for-, being purchased by Transamerica, whom, then, proceeded to cull over half the roster of UA's artists before, shortly thereafter, closing the label down altogether. This work was lost in the archives following this turn of events and was only recently rediscovered. Hence it's release in 2004.
