Down will be released on BullseyeCanada.com's

Okay, sure, Slow Down wasn't written by the Beatles...
but it was written by the legendary Larry Williams, famous also
for Boney Maroney, Dizzy Miss Lizzy,
Bad Boy, Short Fat Annie, She Said
Yeah, and many others. Lennon was a huge fan, which is
why he makes the cut.

tracks, also previously unreleased, from 1976. Rounding out the

More will be stepping on board as time goes by.
