There are also a number of cuts here that Stills recorded on his solo records such as "Black Queen" from his self-titled debut, "Change Partners" and "Know You Got to Run" from Two Originals, "So Begins the Task" from Manassas, and even a very earlier and much longer version of "Treetop Flyer" with Stills playing dobro. The tracks contain early versions of cuts recorded in the trio such as "Suite: Judy Blues Eyes," "Helplessly Hoping," and "Wooden Ships." But these are near the very end of the collection. Meaning, of course, that these versions of these songs haven't been widely available on the bootleg circuit, either. According to Stills' brief liner notes, the tape had been lost for nearly 40 years, until the release of this edition. This 13-song set was recorded solo with an acoustic in a recording studio in 1968, preceding by a few months the first CS&N recording (he bribed a recording engineer after a Judy Collins session). When listening to this rather remarkable document, it becomes alarmingly clear what the post- Buffalo Springfield Stephen Stills brought to the partnership of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
