The first release was the Festival record. Atco re-released "Daddy Rollin’ Stone" with a different flip ("Homesick"). On "Homesick" Jimmy Ricks was backed up by Joe Van Loan, Paul Van Loan, and Jimmie Steward!
Derek Martin re-recorded "Daddy Rollin' Stone" under his own name two years later, which was covered by the Who in 1965.
