| Extra note: | |
There are some mistakes on the track listings:
Track 09 - Padre is listet in the seciton "undubbed songs", but it is the
master (mono) with all overdubs.
Track 10 - You'll Never Walk Alone is listed as extended master, but it is take
2.
Track 16 - Listed as March 31, 1972 recording, but it is spliced from March
29, 1977, Alexandria (Bosom Of Abraham) and March 31, 1972, rehearsal (You Better
Run) recordings.Track 01 - I, John was recorded on June 9, 1971 and
not on June 10, 1976, as listed.
Track 04 - Reach Out To Jesus was recorded on June 8, 1971 and not on June
9, 1971, as listed.
Track 31 - The First Noel was recorded on May 16, 1971 and not on May 21,
1971, as listed.
Track 32 -
O Come, All Ye Faithful was recorded on May 16, 1971 and not on May 21,
1971, as listed.
Tracks 04 and 08 are listed as undubbed alternate takes. This term is
needless, because only master takes are overdubbed.
