The music on this disc was originally recorded on analog equipment. We have attempted to preserve, as closely as possible, the sound of the original recording. Because of its high resolution, however, the Compact Disc can reveal limitations of the source tape.
Note: On this original release, Eugene E. Landy was given a cowriter's credit on these songs and Alexandra Morgan was also co-credited on three of the songs. Those credits were removed on the 2000 rerelease, and are often regarded as spurious.
