This came to me directly from a member of the band, and they described it simply as the "unreleased album". All info above is provided by that person, or was labeled on the tape. To be clear, I have not changed the sequence and I have not compiled this from any other sources.

Someone on YouTube compiled a version of this album from multiple sources. They did not have any version at all of "She Gives Me Love". They also did not have "Jesse James" - they used a live recording instead. They claim the "Alligator Moon Suite" is from a studio rough mix of the album from Front Street Studios 1977-10-18. I'm not sure if that's the same source as this, but this sounds much, much better. With regard to it being a "rough mix", I suppose any mix is a rough mix if it precedes the released version, and this was never released. That being said, the transition at the beginning of East St. Louis Blues is a bit rough.
Is this really the only known recording of "She Gives Me Love"? That's pretty amazing.
The YouTube compiler also said their versions of "Hooker's Ball", "Drunkard's Lullaby", and "Promontory Rider" were released on the (now out-of-print) compilation album "Promontory Rider". I can't prove those are any different than the ones on my cassette, but, to be safe, I am redacting those tracks. For what it's worth, the version on my cassette sounds a lot better than the version on YouTube. I don't have the actual album to compare to.
