This LP was the subject of a half-million-dollar law suit (although papers were never served) which alleged that a song, 'Butternut Hill', has caused one Frances Faye "irreparable injury" according to Billboard (Jan 27th 1962). As a result the disc was withdrawn and re-pressed with the offending track (which was short) removed.

Elektra licensed these recordings from Audiophile Records. Their original catalogue number was Audiophile AP-78 released June 1963 using the same cover photo as the Elektra reissue. Re-released on CD by Red House Records (RHR CD 76) in Feb 1995. The CD includes the whole of the album as recorded in stereo. The orginal recordings were rather long to be cut effectively onto vinyl so Jac had to snip a couple of tracks out and issue the LP in mono. The ones that originally got away were: 'Ted Mack Rag', 'Dust My Broom', 'Too Bad' and 'Mumblin' Word'. There is a trace of 'Panoramic Stereo' on the front cover paper so Elektra might have initially thought they would issue a stereo edition: but they didn't.

This was Fred Neil's first album. Elektra seem to have assumed that Fred would fare better own his own and the pairing with Vince Martin wasn't repeated. This was also an indication of the rise of the singer-songwriter and Fred certainly wrote excellent songs, although he was at his best as a pop song writer rather than folk. ('Everybody's Talking' from the soundtrack of 'Midnight Cowboy' was a worldwide hit but sung by Harry Nilsson.) Exellent video on www.youtube.com about this album.
