Fun Facts
"The Ballad of Peggy Grover" is edited. Only 3 of 5 verses recorded are here. Also, the intro to "I Ain't Got The Blues" is what you hear after the song ends on the BD version.
The Melody of "Casting Me Away From You" was later recycled as "The Emperor of Wyoming".
The first line of "The Rent is Always Due" sounds quite a bit like the first line of "I Am A Child", doesn't it?

There are several tracks from this era which were held back. In fact, there were a few more of Neil's tunes recorded during the Comrie Smith attic session: "My Room is Dark 'Cepting for the light of my Cigarette", "Don't Tell My Friends" and "Betty Ann", all Neil's authorship. These aren't even listed in the back of the Archives Journal. The list is apparently a photocopy of selections from Tapes Database meant to reflect the "picks", or things which could have been included on the Archives. So these tracks with Comrie must not be regarded very highly. Still, the faithful are left salivating... From the Elektra Demos sessions "I Ain't Got The Blues" was omitted (later added as a BD-Live). And of course the Mynah Byrds Tracks "It's My Time"(later added as a BD-Live) and "I'll Wait Forever". The latter two were considered for inclusion but it was decided that there was so little of Neil in them (other than his co-authorship) that they were left off. Also, there may have been liscensing issues at the time the disks went to press.
