A later recording of "Blue Jay" (in a modified version) appears on the 1999 box set Long Train Runnin'. The melody & chord changes for "I'll Keep On Givin'" were later reworked on "Another Park, Another Sunday" (from What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits). None of the remaining songs on this collection appear on any official Doobie Brothers release in any form. Some CD releases of the demos erroneously swap the titles of "Song to J.C." and "Another Way." "Tilted Park Crud Hunchery" is unique in that it includes a short lead vocal by bassist Dave Shogren.
