Notes

Source: Original 1968 Analog Stereo Master Digital Transfer

Contains 12-page 30x30cm full-color book with photo-montages, illustrations & text.

Recorded Oct 1967 through to Feb 1968.
Many overdubs. Clarinets fed through 'Maestro' device, set at 'Oboe D'Amour' with variable speed oscillator [V.S.O.]. Two Pultec Filters, two Lang Equalizers & three Melchor Compressors built into console at Apostolic Studio, N.Y.C.
Recorded on prototype Scully 12-track at 30 ips. Percussion overdubs at Sunset Sound.
