A handy round up of Gram Parsons era Burrito's non album tracks. These are taken from the dozens of compilation albums released over the years, some of them exclusive to their region of release. Titles include; 'Four Sider', 'Farther Along', 'Out of the Blue', 'Close Up the Honky-Tonks'...but there are many more.

Inluded are stand alone singles and outtakes, but the majority of the songs here come from sessions inbetween the two albums. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer as to whether these songs were merely demos or the start of a new album.

If you have 'The Gilded Palace Of Sin', 'Burrito Deluxe' and this, you pretty much have everything available produced by this incarnation of the band.

I have a soft spot for the Gram-less 'The Flying Burrito Bros.' (1971) and even the live 'Last of the Red Hot Burritos' (1972), but once Chris Hillman is gone, I'm out.
