In 1966 Joni Mitchell introduced her song “Urge for Going” as a single that her friend Tom Rush recorded and which would appear on his 1968 album, “The Circle Game.” In fact, Joni did not release the song until 1972 and then as the B-side of “You Turn Me On, I’m a Radio”–the first time she had placed a “non-album” song on a single release. In fact, the song did not appear on an album until thirty years after she had written it, on a 1996 compilation album called “Hits.”

It is one of my favorite songs.
