"It's Not That Easy" is a great early Nazz/Rundgren piece showing the nature of Todd's Maj7th Chord Progression, which was made World Famous a few years later with the same type of thing during his solo version of "Hello It's Me", and which he also attemped a sort of Nazz Version 'Hello It's Me, Part 2' in the form of the moody ballad from 'Nazz Nazz' Album, titled "Gonna Cry Today".
Okay, enough of that aside, this is yet another Nazz Ballad in which two Lead Vocal versions exist: One with Todd, one with Stewkey. I have always claimed that Todd did a "fake vocal" Track for Stewkey to add the real, final vocal track (since he was the Lead Vocalist), but I am starting to believe (after a bit of research) that maybe Todd's vocals were intended as the Lead Vocal for the final Mix, but the other three members in the Band were horrified by Todd (the Guitar Player) singing lead, so the mutiny began by simply recording (along to and/or) over what Rundgren had intended as the final Lead Vocals.
Rundgren has been asked many times, as has Stewkey, who's Vocal belongs on the final mixes of those 5 songs in question from the "Fungo Bat" Sessions??
Most likely Todd's belong there. When Todd broke away from The Nazz in 1969, a wealth of recordings were left shelved. But, when Rundgren re-appeared in 1970 with his first Solo-Album (Ampex was his Record Label, as he had sold all rights to ANY thing Nazz to pay off the incredible Debt the Band had created) and the minor hit song "We Gotta Get You a Woman", Screen Gems (Nazz Record Label) apparently contacted Thom Mooney (Nazz Drummer) who had many Nazz 8-Track Master Tapes in his posession, and a Studio in Los Angeles mixed them (with new Stewkey Vocal) into a package called Nazz III, to coincide with Rundgren's Solo Debut Album, thus hopefully cashing in on Rundgren's new found success.
