The very first original Nektar studio reel to reel master tapes were recorded in a converted shopfront studio in the Jamaica Plains section of Boston in the summer of 1970. Never released, and long thought missing or deteriorated, those tapes eventually resurfaced in good condition then were digitally transferred to CD at a studio in Osnabruck Germany. This CD was initially released in 2006 only as a collectors corner download on the now defunct www.Nektar.us website. Three of the songs were updated, then recorded again on "Sounds Like This" in 1972
- New Day Dawning
- Do You Believe In Magic?

- Where Did You Go? intro **
