Note - These songs have been recorded in 1967-1968 by TASTE's first line-up. Other recordings from these sessions existed but, according to Gallagher himself, they had been accidentally erased, so these seven tracks should be the only ones still existing by Taste's early line-up. I have the US version, and I still have never seen an UK copy, though thanks to NICK CHARLTON, I can post now a scanned cover of the UK version, and confirm that the songs are the same and in the same order, though timings are slightly different.
