The bonus tracks on the 2013 CD reissue were originally planned for a scrapped album that was due to be released in 1975. The album only got as far as a test pressing and was never commercially released. [2] "I've Got to Find the Right Woman" was released as a single in 1975 with "Physical Attraction" on the b-side.
