Fleetwood is quoted as saying one of the instrumentals from the album was "Albatrossy", and I've always assumed he was talking about "Apostle". It's not clear from the book whether "Refugee" and the instrumental mentioned ("Apostle"?) might have been the same track. It wouldn't be the first time that a song was renamed. And maybe it was indeed a track that had been originally considered for the Green-Spencer religious album.

Wow!! All I knew was that Mick once had mentioned "Refugee" as a possible new single. Thank you so much for posting this!
I guess it's a fair chance then that Refugee=Apostle.

I think Jeremy Spencer once listed "The Apostle" as one of his favourite Peter Green composition. So it could be that it was originally intended for the religious album they had planned. How about it, Jeremy???
