"Take Care" is a song from Big Star's third album 3rd, recorded in 1974 but shelved until years later. This mix features the original album version along with a demo and a cover by Yo La Tengo.
One other song repeats on this mix: the 1982 top ten hit "Only The Lonely" by The Motels, along with an acoustic version recorded years later.
The J Dilla-produced "Little Brother" by Black Star samples "Ain't Got Time" by Roy Ayers Ubiquity, both here.
The rest: early Jimmy Cliff ska single "King Of Kings", the Ayers production "You Said" by Sylvia Striplin, the Dum Ditty Dum mix of "Behind Bars" by Slick Rick with Warren G, the grateful "The Day I Found Myself" by The Honey Cone, J-Live's jazzy "A Charmed Life", The Unknown's hypnotic "Dream Sequence", the giddy "Just Like Me" by Paul Revere & The Raiders, Huggy Bear's fierce "Her Jazz", John Lennon & Yoko Ono's Angle Davis tribute "Angela", Broadcast's atmospheric "Before We Begin", the defiant "The Kids Are Having None Of It" by Frazey Ford, Connie Converse's spare "Sad Lady", the early 80s home recording "Hold Me In Suspension" by Paul Westerberg of The Replacements, Sidney Joe Qualls' dreamy "I'm Being Held Hostage" and the spiritual "Prince Of Peace" by Pharoah Sanders with singing by Leon Thomas.
