Ok, there's new info up on the website which clears it all up...
"The never released album recorded with The Rolling Stones (15 tracks). Six tracks are previously unreleased.
This project was the last major creative effort by John Phillips before his drug arrest in 1980. Various original and duplicate multitrack and mix tapes were stored, lost and found again, and some trickled out over the next three decades in the form of bootlegs. As John put it, the tapes “had a life force of their own!” Just before John’s passing in 2001, John assembled and released an overdubbed, re-engineered and remixed version of some of the shelved material on an album called “Pay, Pack and Follow,” at the time unaware of the location of the album masters of the original 1978 mixes. Those original album masters were not found until 2003.
The original 1978 album mix is released here for the first time, so here, at last, is the album as John originally intended it."
