Heart of Stone
      ["Metamorphosis" version]
Looking Tired
      [RCA Studios September, 1965. Note the instrumental similarity to Robert Johnson's 32-20 Blues that comes up later. This is the earliest
      Johnson influence I have been able to detect]

32-20 Blues
      [Dallas Rehearsals - 6/72]
Dancing With Mr. D
      [An alternate take that features a Taylor solo that was edited out of the album take. Reason enough to leave the band!]
Criss Cross Man
      [a.k.a.: Save Me. This was previously noted as being from the "Goat's Head Soup" sessions. This was also featured in the Japanese animation
      film "Metamorphosis"]
Silver Train
      [An alternate take that jams]

* From Chess Studio's Chicago June, 1964. This was the first release to feature these tracks in excellent quality from a tape source
  (no crackles on Stewed and Keefed). The TSP label soon followed.
