"Most of the background music [of Record 1] is from the Heric collection of concert or performance recordings ... done in the very early 1950's. Most material has been re-processed electronically for more modern sound, while some has been newly recorded at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Los Angeles." Record 2 recorded live, 1971, at the Wilshire-Ebell Theatre, Los Angeles.
