In addition to these recordings, two Sparkling Apple tracks were included on the very first Vancouver Seeds album in 1979.

Taken from the back of the record’s sleeve:

“November, 1979: "VANCOUVER SEEDS" represents the culmination of efforts by C-FOX-FM99 Vancouver and Gary Taylor's Rock Room. Our intent was to showcase live concerts, featuring as many Vancouver artists and relatively unknown groups as possible and to give them an opportunity to be heard on their FM rock station, then be released on record. "VANCOUVER SEEDS" is a complilation of some of the best performances during "Monday Night Live at Eleven", recorded at Gary Taylor's Rock Room over the Summer and Fall of 1979. Special thanks are due to Gary Taylor and Cal Woosnam of Challenger Sound.”
