We've been right here in this dream all along, waiting for you. Now that you've found us, think of all the fun we can have before we wake up! I guess what we mean to say is -- thanks for finding us. MISTY & JACK This first LP contains the early Wayside singles "Big Black Bird [Spirit Of My Love]" and "Bethlehem Steel" - but not their flip sides, "The Autumn Song [On A Yellow Day] {no matter what the liner notes will tell you!} and "No Sign Of Love" - as well as "Tennessee Birdwalk," "Humphrey The Camel" and "You've Got Your Troubles (I've Got Mine)". Wayside went out of business shortly afterward, meaning Jack and Misty never got royalties for this effort; so they took the master tapes and had their own limited edition LP pressed up on the Earth label ("The Early Years '68-'70") which they sold at personal appearances.

As of this writing, "With Pen In Hand" and "No Sign Of Love" still remain unreissued.
