Footnotes

Provenance:
Collins co-founded the Nu-Sonics in 1976. The vendor knew the drummer, Steven Daly, and was invited to join the band as a bassist. This chart was written out by Collins so the vendor could learn the bass lines prior to rehearsals; the vendor attended two such sessions before being replaced. The band changed its name to Orange Juice in 1979.
