*Recording cuts in part way through first track.
*John informs us that the Raymond Scott track was recorded about six weeks before he was born.
*A rather grisly account of how rabbits suffer under myxomatosis: JP says that his father put some of the affected animals out of their misery with a golf club and it was the only time he ever saw him cry.

:(JP: 'As I grow older I grow increasingly wary of religious people because so often these days they seem to want to kill you for not believing the same things that they do, so I approached this LP by Pedro The Lion...with some trepidation, because they're avowedly religious, but it turns out to be quite a nice LP.')
