Notes:

Playing for Keeps may have been spliced at 2:37.

Sholes' handwritten session notes on Love Me and Paralyzed were reproduced in the memory log of "A Legendary Performer" vol. 1.

The insert of Paralyzed was probably applied after 2:16.

The insert of Too Much was probably applied after 2:23.

Thanks to Johnny Savage.
