Taylor's "William", "Dusty Road," and "Ain't Gonna Fight It" date back to 1971 and his early band Good Shephard, and "Skeptic's Song" (then known as "Resurrection") dates back at least to 1972 and his band, Judge Rainbow and the Prophetic Trumpets.

Another band at the meeting, led by Darrell Mansfield, had a similar name - Jubal.

In 2004, work began on a special 30th Anniversary Deluxe two-disc version of the album.

The collection, released on June 26, 2006, includes the full newly remastered album, never before seen photos, bonus material, interviews and more.

This edition was repackaged and re-released in 2011 on Born Twice Records with expanded artwork and a larger booklet.
