yep - by that time it seems the idea of Promises Kept was being put on the back burner. out of all material recorded in 71, i think Floy Joy was among the strongest. But also thing Tears Left Over was a hot track. but i do agree that a lot of the PK material is only ok at best. i don't think assembling a bunch of the random tracks and stuffing them into an lp would be have been a wise decision. not after the excellent previous 3 lps.

Perhaps you could have cobbled something together using:

Tears left over
Love the one you're with
Can't get you out of my mind
make it with you
take your dreams back
All i need
mind body and soul
i'll let him know i love him
never can say goodbye
and i thought you loved me

FJ [[the song) was recorded in October, around the same time as a bunch of the other PK songs. i guess they were just experimenting with producers and out of the collection of songs, FJ seemed the strongest. so it was released in Dec. once it started to hit, they went back into studio and recorded the rest of the lp material in Jan and Feb
