According to Rivers in a 2006 fan interview, only the drums were tracked. However, according to Karl, this was the actual Homie album, completely finished except for a final mix. Karl writes, "He recorded an entire album's worth of Homie songs, I believe at Fort Apache in Boston. The song listing will be posted here "ASAP", as track sheets for the sessions have turned up. The tapes were never mixed down, however, so there is no listening copy available at this time. This session includes such 'solo' show songs as "Hey M'Darlin'" , "Think About", and "Fun Time". According to Rivers, he considers the recording to be a completed album, and at the time he had hoped to someday release it as Homie." | According to Rivers in a 2006 fan interview, only the drums were tracked.

Later, in an email exchange, Karl said "Unfortunately, I was never able to re-find those track sheets. Actually, Rivers either hid them or lost them, and that was 6+ years ago now. And the tapes are either in Boston at a studio or are missing. 'Shadows in the dark...' as Gandalf said..." | Later, in an email exchange, Karl said "Unfortunately, I was never able to re-find those track sheets.
