The material is unslated, and the take numbers are copied from the tape box.

"The Funk" is listed in the archive as "#1 The Funk," which may indicate that additional music was recorded in this session. The title appears later in the archive as "The Funk (What It Is)."

"Creepin' In" was recorded, but it is not known whether "The Funk" and "Creepin' In" are the same tune. "Creepin' In" is also known as "Code 3" and "Unite" (see Montréal July 7, 1983)
