Notes

  1. Rereleased as "Pacific Jazz" by United Artists in 1978 albeit with a different track listing.
  2. Solus was recorded in April 1971 and intended to be released as a single album by SABA but when SABA folded and became MPS the powers that be decided to postpone its release. They finally put it out as a double album in 1976 together with George's MPS debut The Inner Source. The latter was recorded in October 1971.
  3. Recorded in 1976 and released in 1978 (Europe-only). Released in the USA (in a slightly different version) as The 1976 Solo Keyboard Album by Epic/CBS in 1982.
  4. Also a live recorded album.
gollark: It's probably because bees are inevitable and inescapable.
gollark: Oh, I see.
gollark: Did I already say bees?
gollark: Bees?
gollark: It can be shown trivially that no better humor can exist.
