New to David and Bart's repertoire were versions of "I Remember When I Loved Her" (The Zombies), "Summertime" (The Zombies), "This Diamond Ring" (Gary Lewis) and with Dave, a pair of Marvin, Welch & Farrar songs, "Marmaduke" and "Lady of the Morning". Also different - David played guitar instead of his usual piano on songs such as "You Still Take My Breath Away."
