This cassette of early mixes dates from around this time, but certainly not any earlier as the title track was recorded in mid-March (as confirmed by Mitchell during a radio interview with Rick Ringer on CHUM-FM on March 22). Gravity and Diamonds Diamonds have different vocal tracks, and there's a false start to one of the versions of Rain Child (not listed on the sleeve). On The Road is the early full band arrangement version the song they had been playing live up to this point, but it would soon be scrapped and Mitchell would take over its production (and even bass guitar duties, uncredited on the album).
