notes:

* Pride Of Cucamonga was never played live, I patched this version together from the Mars Hotel outtakes. Then, since this a fictitious performance, I took the opportunuty to mix it up a little, well quite a lot. It's therefore unique. Apologies for the sound quality, I think there had been some heavy NR applied to my copy of the outtakes.

There is no live performance of Unbroken Chain comtemporary to the release of the album, it was first performed live on 03/19/1995.

Most of the tracks have been altered in some way, for the purpose of this

comments:

The album was released on June 27, 1974. I bought it the day it was released in the UK, which may have been later.

Now I know that Money, Money has been derided by many but it was the track that jumped out at me on first play and I loved it to bits.
