So I'm guessing either A) the above information above is incorrect, B) Stevie is forgetful, or C) the there was another set of Coffee Plant recordings from after the Buckingham Nicks record flopped?

That excerpt makes it sound like the Coffee Plant stuff was recorded prior to the inspiration for "Garbo." Is it possible the Coffee Plant material wasn't actually recorded in Morris Buckingham's coffee plant?

From the Lindsey biography at The Penguin, which doesn't mention the Coffee Plant thing:

These demos would probably be along the lines of what the Sonic Past information describes. But it's all a bunch of "he said"/"she said."

If only David were around, he might have a frighteningly accurate timeline to go by!

Fritz disbanded in 1970 and not long after Lindsey and Stevie left for LA. They were barely there when they had to head back again because Lindsey caught mono, which wouldn't do them any good in expensive LA. Back in the Bay Area, where Lindsey was slowly recuperating (which took a long time) they used the coffee plant during the night to record the demos. So, most of 1971. They headed back late '71, early '72.

I've always believed that Stevie wrote After the Glitter Fades after that cover shoot, and she's just mixing up Garbo with ATGF. I think Garbo was written when they were first in LA for that short time and she discovered what a whole different world it was. (and they had been in LA with Fritz for a short while also...staying at the Tropicana )
