B1: Special thanks for filling in for Chuck Winfield, for bringing a pocket full of miracles and for being so attractive.
B4: BS&T also thanks Miss Lucy Angle (in her Poll Parrot shoes) whose footsteps can be heard at the close of this selection. She is also very attractive. She appears through the courtesy of James William Guercio.

BS&T would like to take this opportunity to thank Jim Guercio and Roy Halee for their patience, endurance and dogmatism throughout the making of this record.

    Great sounding record, and the inner groove distortion on my copy isnt nearly as severe as it was on another copy I had.

      This might be one of the most pristine records i’ve ever purchased yet it’s SO crackle-y, especially in the quiet parts. were columbia records just bad during this time period?
