  • "You Just May Be the One," "Hold On Girl," "If I Ever Get To Saginaw Again," and "Mr. Webster" are CD Only Tracks
  • "Michigan Blackhawk" is a mistitled track; the song included here is a Gerry Goffin/Carole King country-rock tune, "Down The Highway," that Mike recorded in 1968; the mistitling comes from the use of the title "Michigan Blackhawk" on an unfinished Nesmith track from 1969.
  • "All The King's Horses," "You Just May Be The One," and "Do Not Ask For Love" were all 1966 tracks produced by Mike that feature bassist Robert West with a Danelectro "dano" bass; the "dano" bass accounts for the distinctive twang these songs have on bass.
