Notes:

It's difficult to identify the takes recorded in spite of the fact that both the original tape notes and Sholes' detailed session notes are available. In Jorgensen's "A Life in Music" the master is listed as take 9, but a confusing note says "Take 10 is not an official master, but probably the best take."
