Notes: Mainhorse signed to Polydor in 1970 and released their debut
and contemporary album in 1971. An earlier incarnation of Mainhorse
is captured in the archival
release The
Geneva Tapes.
Moraz oversaw a remastered version in 2006 as part of a re-issue of
his back catalogue. The writing credits for three pieces changed for
reasons that are not explained. (Thanks to Kevin Rosenstein for
