All Day 'track and vocals recorded at Columbia'... etc - booklet track17 CD 2 notes
I didn't know it was demoed in December..?
Presumably it was a pastoral type section..?
There were no vocals so that's a typo.
The two 'Da Da' fragments were on the same 8-track reel as the DYLW vocals, presumably from the same Dec 21 session.
Not a typo, actually...just a misinterpretation of the information. The mention of vocals pertains to the other parts recorded that day. The proper way to read the entry is thus:

The booklet uses an ingenious (if I do say so myself) color-coding method, whereby all the recording info (take numbers, dates, locations, engineer names) are in green, while vocals & singer credits are blue, instrumentation & musician credits are purple, and titles are sepia. Recording credits pertaining to several pieces recorded on the same date are listed after ALL pieces recorded that day. Sorry for any confusion!
