Notes

Recorded in a single sitting, possibly in Los Angeles during 1974, this 61 minute tape features Paul running through a batch of new songs at the piano. Some of these compostions would not see issue for almost ten years( I'll give you a ring ), and many which would never be released at all. One of the songs,'Waiting for the sun to shine'had sections that were later incorporated into 1987's 'Love Mix'. The previously unreleased tracks were copyrighted on November 4, 1994. Three more songs were demo'd by Paul in Scotland in the spring of 1974; 'Little Bass Man' 'Arab Nights' and 'Juniors Farm'.(Although the lyrics were certainly inspired by their upcoming Nashville stay)
