Note:
Some or all of the first eleven tracks above were slated to be on The Ballroom's first album in 1965, but ended up not being released. According to an early 70s interview with Curt Boettcher for ZigZag magazine, his Our Productions house band played on the tracks, including Mike Deasy. Also, the following five songs which were written by Mike were slated to be on this compilation for The Ballroom, but were subsequently replaced. Tracks 20-22 were by other Boettcher/Usher artists and not The Ballroom.

Ode To Mother Truck (Deasy)
A Record Hi (Deasy)
Fendabenda Ha Ha Ha (Deasy)
A Bit Of Grey Lost (Deasy)
