Notes:
“Made in U.S.A” version of [r28503499 Embossed gatefold cover Inner gatefold has a note that reads (line breaks preserved): This recordis a total work conceived graphically, musically, lyrically and accidentally —as a whole. The performances were guided by the given compositional strictures and the audibly inspired beauty of every player. The whole unfolded like a mystery. It is not my intention to unravel that mystery for anyone but rather to offer some additional clues: “Centerpiece” is a Johnny Mandel-Jon Hendricks tune. John Guerin and I collaborated on “The Hissing Of Summer Lawns.” “The Boho Dance” is a Tom Wolfe-ism from the book “The Painted Word.” The poem, “Don’t Interrupt The Sorrow” was born around 4 a.m. in a New York loft. Larry Poons seeded it and Bobby Neuwirth was midwife here but the child filtered thru Genesis at Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan, is rebellious and mystical and insists that its conception was immaculate. Henry—more than an engineer—Lewy and his assistant Ellis Sorkin piloted these tapes to their destination; Henry and I mixed them; and Bernie Grundman mastered then at A&M Studios in Hollywood. I drew the cover and designed the package with research help and guidance from Glen Christensen, Elektra / Asylum Art Director. The photo is Norman Seeff’s. I would especially like to thank Myrt and Bill Anderson, North Battleford. New York, Saskatoon, Bel-Air, Burbank, Burundi, Orange County, the deep, deep heart of Dixie. Blue, National Geographic Magazine, Helpful Henry The Housewife’s Delight—and John Guerin for showing me the root of the chord and where 1 was. …She could see the blue pools in the squiting sun and hear the hissing of summer lawns…
