==3rd November 1971==
Two more original compositions were started on this day. 'Clarabelle', a composition which was written, according to Peter McDonald and Sam Whitby, 60% by Sam, and 40% by Peter. Despite the similarity of the title, it was unrelated to the Frank Pingatore song 'Clarabella'.
'Goldhood', another boogie rock song was a joint effort between Peter and Sam, although both of them agreed that it seemed more like a Peter song than a Sam one. Unfortunately the track's efforts were largely rejected out of hand at the time by critics. The song's composers were never given a proper explanation as to the reason why.

The band recorded two new compositions on this day, neither of which would make the band's second album. Peter McDonald had written a sole composition 'Kitty in a Tank', and although the band did record it on this day, none of the other band members had the interest or patience to complete it at the time.
His next composition 'Salt 'n' Pepper Suite' was written mostly by Peter himself, with lyrical contributions from Sam Whitby. While the band did express interest in the song, they decided that its style wasn't quite right for the band's second album. The song's title was inspired by ' song ''.

The band recorded another two new compositions on this day, but like 'Kitty in a Tank' and 'Salt 'n' Pepper Suite', neither of these two tracks were considered for the band's second album. The first track recorded on this day – 'Tropical Beach Hogs' – was a Peter McDonald and Sam Whitby composition, primarily written by Peter. The other composition, 'Pineapple Heart' was written by Torquil Dohrn, making it the first time Torquil had ever contributed a song for the band to record.
Torquil later admitted that Sam had helped him to polish off the rough edges, since he wasn't the best songwriter in the world at the time, but Peter and Sam later agreed that Torquil's songwriting skills had improved considerably, since. When 'Pineapple Heart' was rejected from Show Business, Torquil wasn't worried, as it was his first composition. He could always work on his songwriting skills for future records.
Both 'Tropical Beach Hogs' and 'Pineapple Heart' were written around the same time. 'Tropical Beach Hogs' primarily written by Peter, 'Pineapple Heart' primarily written by Torquil. Torquil admits that he got the idea to call his first song 'Pineapple Heart' from the lyrics of The Beatles' 1968 song '', as well as being inspired to write it at the time when Peter and Sam were writing 'Tropical Beach Hogs'. This was partly due to the way the word 'Hogs' was pronounced, making it easy to mishear the word as 'Hearts'.
