Notes
Hunter discussed this album in an interview in 1984: I like Garcia's arrangements and production on it, and I like the songs. The only thing I can't stand is the vocals. I played it for the first time in years the other day and I was horrified.
The vocals were re-recorded in 1988 for the re-release of the LP in 1989.
