Skip Haynes claims "Lake Shore Drive" has no drug references whatsoever, unlike "The Snow Queen," which referenced the up and downsides of cocaine usage.

[1] The 1992 Quicksilver CD compilation Lake Shore Drive was missing two songs from the original 1973 Big Foot LP, "Leaving Chicago A.M.F."

and "Long Time Gone" (medley with "When I Was a Cowboy"), but contained the title track of 1977's Slippin' Away plus newer material.

Lake Shore Drive was re-released on compact disc in 1996 for its 25th anniversary on a double-CD set, along with some of the band's other songs.
