Notes

♫ A One Way revisited project with mostly well-known songs. "Up In Canada" is an unknown early version, "I Ain't Gonna Sing The Blues No More" is the only previously unreleased song.

♫ This album was first mentioned on the insert that came with the Street Level reissue of "Only Visiting This Planet" in 1978.

♫ The booklet mentions this CD is from 1999. The actual release, however, was in late February 2000.

♫ Unlisted at left are four songs from Randy Stonehill's "Born Twice" album.

♫ See also "Street Level" and "Bootleg"

♫ At the same time as "The Cottage Tapes," Larry Norman released "Get Me Out Of Hollywood" by Randy Stonehill (Solid Rock SRD-073) and "Horrendous Disc" by Daniel Amos (Solid Rock SRD-211). On the Daniel Amos CD, Larry Norman performs two versions of "Hound Of Heaven", one of these was also included in the Daniel Amos tribute CD called "When Worlds Collide, Part 1" (on the Ferris Wheel label, 2000).

♫ Larry re-released four albums in May 2000; "Larry Norman" (also "Starstorm," the Australian album from 1977), "The Israel Tapes" "Come As A Child" and "Hi-Fi Demonstration Record" by Wondergroove (Solid Rock SRD-022). Wondergroove is in fact Charles Norman's group Merchants of Venus, but the band's name had to be changed for this US release because of another band with the same name. Larry Norman added two cover versions to the album: "Down To The Water" and "I Want It All." Both songs are also performed by the Merchants Of Venus on this album. "Down To The Water" has been re-released on "Collaborator - The Essential, volume 4"
