This seven-song, seven-inch bootleg EP may be hard to find, but its contents (or a tape of them, if you can't get the actual vinyl) are essential for Gram Parsons nuts. Side one has the International Submarine Band's two rare 1966 singles. "Sum Up Broke"/"One Day Week" are not country-rock at all, sounding like an American Dave Clark Five (); "The Russians Are Coming" is an inconsequential movie theme; and "Truck Drivin' Man" is an early indication of Parsons' country-rock direction. Side two has some Parsons-related oddities, the most interesting of which is Peter Fonda's () languid pop rendition of the Gram-penned "November Nights." There are also a couple of tracks (Fred Neil's "You Don't Miss Your Water" and Steve Young's "That's How Strong My Love Is") on which Parsons appeared as a session musician.
