Precursor:
	As far as I can tell the diligence leads me to conclude that these sessions have never been widely circulated before.  These are not the SNACK Sessions as David Crosby, Merl Sanders & or Ned Lagin are not present.  All tracks are instrumental which leaves no work for Donna.  Mickey, as far as I can tell is not present either.  The month and day are not given on any of the information provided.  Listening to s2t14, using deduction, puts us somewhere in the month of March.
	Session I starts out with the boys talking nicely amongst themself round the, on strike, coffee pot.  It's not on strike, no one bothered to turn it on.  After "properly" caffeinating themselves they begin to practice.  First up is a new piece from Phil. First, Phil works on the changes using a six string acoustic guitar, then one by one the band joins in & eventually Phil goes to his bass.  Part II has Phil working the chord progression & changes for another new, untitled theme.  Phil continues to work the changes on an acoustic guitar.
	Sessions III & IV are all electric workings of Blues for Allah material.
