Notes:

Many thanks to Jeremy Poynton for lending me his tape.

- This is a multi-gen copy, unfortunately the right channel suffered from a lot of static.  I have therefore copied the left
   channel over so that it is now a mono recording.
- I eq'd it with iZotope Ozone to give the sound a little more depth.
- There was quite a lot of background noise, which I have reduced with iZotope RX

notes:

Released May 1972

As with the other compositions in this series I've used tracks contemporary to the album release.  In this case they are all from Euro '72, apart from Walk In The Sunshine and Cassidy.

# This was never played live.  This track is a solo acoustic reference made with lyricist John Barlow, recorded at Bob's Marin home during Fall of 1971, and is called "C Shuffle."

Cassidy was first played live in March 1974 and then didn't appear again until June 1976.

People that know will not be surprised to see that I chose a track from Bickershaw, 05/07/72 .

Garcia plays pedal steel on Looks Like Rain, one of the best versions I've heard.

All tracks have been altered in some way for the purpose of this composition
