Notes:

Recorded shortly after his first No. 1 hit, this 1971 recording documents the days of John Denver as a folksinger.
John mostly sings other people's songs as of this time - only 4 of the songs in this show were penned by himself.
It has the only known recording of John singing Tom Paxton's "I Lost My Heart On a 747".
As a leftie, John couldn't stick to the original words on Merle Haggard's "Okie", so he adds two verses from Pat Sky's parody of the song. Hilarious!

The 3 bonus tracks are all from Bandersnatch Coffeehouse, Granville, OH, March 15th, 1969.
By the time The Mitchell Trio has already broken up, but it was before John's first solo album came out.

Since I'm from China, my English is not good enough to fully understand the site FAQ, so there might be some problems with my torrent. Please tell me if you find anything wrong.
