There were some technical problems with the tapes, so they released Leeds instead. Now they have decided to release Hull, despite the technical problems. I haven't heard it, but the reviews have been favorable. Michael F.

I know it's not exactly the same as Suzanne, but parts of it seem nearly identical, no? An earlier post said W of I was written by Joni about LC, but it seems odd that he would then write a very similar song (musically) about another woman; doesn't it? Perhaps they had collaborated on developing the music and then she decided to let him have it instead of her? Or could she have written it first and then she let LC adapt it into Suzanne with his lyrics? And perhaps that is why it was never released on an album by Joni? Or was it released? I don't recall it on her early albums. Sorry if this was discussed already, but I looked back and couldn't find where it was." I rarely post without doing my homework/research/fact-checking, but I am going out on a limb here. I believe that I looked at this at one point in the past, and concluded to my satisfaction that Suzanne was written before Cohen/Mitchell became an item. That would make W of I something of a knockoff by Joni of an already written LC song. Which might also explain why she had the good sense not to record it. If I am wrong, I apologize to all (including Joni).
