Notes

Track A1 is recorded at Ft. Collins, Colorado as part of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. Original LPs list the following, "Sold American recorded live with Boy Dylan and The Rolling Thunder Revue at Ft. Collins, Colorado." Other recording sessions took place at the following, Sugar Hill Studios, Houston, TX, Shangri-La Studios, Malibu, CA, and Haji Sound, Hollywood, CA. Of further note, this release was meant to captiolize on Friedman's appreance on the Rolling Thunder Revue therefore, virutally every member of the tour is credited on the LP jacket, however, it is unlikely that all artists listed are actual players on the album itself. Nevertheless, they are listed as they appear on the LP liner notes.
