The track was later delegated to the [[DGC Rarities, Vol. 1]] album, a move which took convincing from A&R man Todd Sullivan; they were concerned that their "rarity" might not be up to snuff sonically. Todd reminded them that the feel was amazing, and the world had to hear this recording. Dale Johnson recalls: "I guess the guys were happy with the LMU version of 'Jamie,' but I never entirely was completely satisfied.

I just really wanted to be credited with the recording.</blockquote> | <blockquote>The band subsequently had a fortunate run in with one Dale Johnson, then a student at Layola Marymount, who was taking a class in music recording and sound engineering.
