Also of interest on this recording are performances by Christine Lavin ("Regretting What I Said"), Peter Tork (of Monkees fame) singing "I Truly Understand," and the amusing word play of David Massengill's "The Eunuch's Lament." the 32-page June 1982 issue of the CooP magazine accompanies this recording.
