Some of the surviving tracks ("Good Times", "Land of Make Believe"), as well as newly recorded ones, would be used on what was now titled Vigil (so titled as tribute to the fans who held vigil for the album's long release). [1] Other songs from the original Good Times album would eventually be released on The Shame Just Drained compilation in 1977.
