TRIVIA


  • Recording began in October 1970 and was completed in late January 1971.


  • John London and Johnny Ware left the group in late November 1970. Two tracks were left to finish the album - "Here I Am" (recorded in early January 1971) and "Only Bound" (recorded in late January). This required Mike to recruit James Burton, Joe Osborn, and Ron Tutt to help finish the album; all three had worked with Mike during his days with The Monkees.


  • The track "Nevada Fighter" was recorded under the title "Apology."


  • The track "Propinquity" was the third version of this song Mike recorded - he demoed it for The Monkees in 1966 and recorded a 1969 version for the group.
