SONGS RECORDED:

• Takin' Care Of Business

The band recorded a cover of Bachman Turner Overdrive's Takin' Care of Business in June of 1990 as a possible single to coincide with the release of the movie of the same name, starring Jim Belushi and Charles Grodin. Two different versions of the track were recorded: one funkier, and another more straight-ahead rock sounding. To date neither of them have been released, and the whole project was eventually shelved. 

Larry Blackmon from Cameo produced the funkier rendition of the song, but whether he performed on it is unknown (though unlikely). The band took a photo with him during the recording of the song:

To date, nothing from the sessions has surfaced officially or unofficially. Whether it ever will is unlikely.
