comments:

released : September 1, 1975

on some releases the tracks marked with asterisks are listed as;
* King Solomon's Marbles
* Stronger Than Dirt or Milkin' The Turkey

# not included as no versions, other than those officially released, are available

& I decided to "shrink" the drums segment as I wanted to bring out the full force of the jamming. I think it works!

there will be disagreement with the versions I've chosen, so be it, but I had great fun putting this together. The harmonies on Franklin's are just about perfect, sends a shiver down my spine.

all tracks have been changed in some way for the purpose of this compilation

this is for Paul who can now stop bugging me ;-)
