Tracks 2 & 3 of disc 1, "Need all my Friends" and (b/w) "Michelle" were recorded in 1968 and 1969 respectively (ST101 and ST102) intended as a single under the moniker LYNARD SKYNARD, making these the only 2 recordings ever released under a different band name, altho not truly released as a 300 press 7" vinyl 45rpm single until 1970, a year after the band had already permanently settled on the name Lynyrd Skynyrd.
