"[5]Paul's 10:21 live version of "East" appears on the 2011 Legacy CD Golden Gate Groove: The Sound of Philadelphia Live in San Francisco 1973 - a record company event recorded on 27 June 1973 at the Fairmont Hotel.

Paul and other PIR acts were backed by MFSB which featured 35 musicians including Leon Huff on organ.
