| 3.2M | 06 Glickus (Harp, Chriest, Lightfoot) | 1982 at John Chriest's apartment with Norma Lightfoot, bouncing tracks on a reel to reel, a song that still makes me smile | ||
| 3.7M | 07 Brush The Zebra (Harp, Wran) | 1982 or so, Mike Wran's reel to reel 4-track in his basement, trying to rap with a cool little drum box and some guitars. | ||
| 4.7M | 08 I'm Sorry, But... (Harp) | 1983, Studio North, first time in a studio alone, wrote this on the spot and recorded and mixed in a day. Thanks to Buck for paying. | ||
| 1.6M | 09 Mike Wran - Just So Far (Wran) | In 1983 Mike Wran wanted to record an album and asked for my help, we did a few tracks then had another falling out and never finished. This track has Mike on vocals & keys and Mark on drum programming, vocals, keys, & the lyrics. | ||
