I Don't Wanna Lose You

Version 1 is a slightly rough studio recording
Note that the sound on Rough Street Love Letter is slightly improved over the earlier LPs. Cottage Tapes uses a remastered version which sounds noticeably brighter and plays a little faster. It is denoted as an alternative mix but I haven't found any noticeable differences beyond the aforementioned. On the 2005 CD, the song fades out a tiny fraction earlier |

This is the first song Randy [Stonehill] ever recorded in the studio. I was doing studio recordings of the songs from the musicals with Teddy Neeley and Kay Cole and other people. I thought I'd let Randy get his feet wet in the studio. Even though I didn't plan on keeping this performance as my final version, I had fun singing with this young teenager. I let him sing on this and a few other songs that afternoon [From The Cottage Tapes CD booklet]
