Notes: "For Richard" is the shortened name of "Can't Be Long Now/Francoise/For Richard/Warlock". The track that appears on the 1976 release of Canterbury Tales was recorded at Fairfield Halls in 1974. The CD issue replaces this version with the two other previously released versions: the original studio recording from If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You (1970), and a live version from Caravan and the New Symphonia (1974).
