Unreleased album that was shelved in 1975  Relased a year later as Havaña Daydreamin'.


When the calendar flipped to 1976, the follow-up to A1A was finally released, but not as “Kick It in Second Wind”, but as “Havaña Daydreamin’”.

The tracks: “Train to Dixie,” “Wonder Why We Ever Go Home,” and “Please Take Your Drunken 15 Year Old Girlfriend Home” disappeared, and were replaced by “Cliches,” “Defying Gravity,” and the new title track, “Havaña Daydreamin'”.

This album has the original version of Kick It In Second Wind and Wonder Why We Ever Go Home. Jimmy re-did Kick It In Second Wind for “Havaña Daydreamin’”, and a different version of Wonder Why We Ever Go Home showed up on “Changes In Latitudes” a few years later, so there are four rare tracks unique to this release (well, 2 of them showed up on on the mis-pressed LP I have, suspect the Side 1 master from this one was used there by accident).

I think it was better this way.
