The album was slated to be titled “Lonely Talk” to be issued in August 1989. It also had a different track list, containing a song called “Plain of Jars” and a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” (which ended up on his 1st Greatest Hits collection); there were also different versions of current tracks that made the official album. About 3 weeks prior to its original planned issue date, Reprise/WB decided there were not enough potential singles; therefore, “Tear It Up,” “All We Got” and “Get the Word Started” were added, with “Take It to Heart” recorded and added, which meant some songs and some versions were removed or changed (details unknown).
