Comments
Anybody know the story about the album cover art? There is no credit listed in the reissue and I've had no luck hunting the info down.
Mel Pollen on Bass... Member of the original 1st Call Gang that went on to become The Wrecking Crew
Thanks. He lived around the corner from me in Fullerton.
I found a copy of this at a Goodwill last week, cost less than 60 cents. It's a white label promotional copy. I did good!
Is that John Williams on Piano?
@fleekawadog indeed it is!
beautiful thanks for posting, more billy bean please!
