German model and singer Nico was the first to record "These Days" for release on her October 1967 album Chelsea Girl. Browne later said he wrote it when he was 16 years old, meaning in 1964 or 1965. Included in these demos, and the third song on this collection, was "I've Been Out Walking", an early version of "These Days". Nina collected these songs on a double album which was given to various artists and managers in the hope that other artists would choose to record one. On January 7, 1967, he made some demo recordings for Nina Music Publishing at Jaycino Studio in New York City.
