Notes

Note: The identifying Pitman 'P' is stamped very faint on each side run-outs and may also be upside-down. It is easy to confuse this release with other Santa Maria pressings sharing similar numbers and icons in the matrix.

Side A track listing A5 appears on three lines.

Engineered at ABC Studios in Los Angeles and at A&R Studios in New York.

Special thanks to Larry Carlton and Mr. Garry Sherman.
