It features four tracks recorded with then- new guitarist/ vocalist Dave" Clem" Clempson in the winter of 1969(" Jumping Off The Sun, Lost Angeles, Rope Ladder To The Moon, Bolero"); three tracks from the 1969 Vertigo LP" Valentyne Suite" but with vocal and guitar parts provided by Clempson(" Butty's Blues, The Machine Demands A Sacrifice, The Grass Is Greener") instead of James Litherland; and one track," Elegy," that appears to be the same as the original from" Valentyne Suite", including Litherland's vocal.
