1998.11.03 In 1996, 60 P.F. Sloan acetates were "discovered" in the MCA vaults, and since then, plans have been made for them to be released on Varese Sarabande, a label which has been responsible for some of the best P. F. Sloan-related releases in recent times. This released has been delayed several times, so for the latest information visit the Varese Sarabande label. The latest given release date was 3 November, 1998, but once again, it has been postponed. However, it seems very likely that this important collection will be issued at some point in 1999. The liner notes have been written by the highly knowledgeable Andrew Sandoval.
Varese have offered the following description of the CD:

"The ultimate P.F. Sloan collection, this compilation is drawn from over 100 studio quality demos Phil recorded between 1965 and 1967 for Trousdale Publishing. Included in this collection are the original versions of You Baby, Another Day, Another Heartache, Danger Man - Secret Agent Man and Can I Get To Know You Better. Many of these songs have never been heard outside of the recording studio (20 Tracks) $15.98 CD."
