COMMENTS
The UK and European versions of Sunset and Other Beginnings contain the additional track Ol' Man River. A boisterous version that apparently was the result of a bout of spontaneous fun during a recording session.
You Can't Hurry Love/Mama Said b/w The Sun And The Moon (SNBH 3789) was the first single to be released in the UK. This was followed by Almost Like Being In Love (SNBH 3789), which was backed with a live version of Beautiful People recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on 6th October 1975, which is now included on the 2015 CD from Morello Records.
