In a November 22, 1967, letter to Lawrence Ferlinghetti, di Prima's then-husband Alan Marlowe said of New York, "this is the world printing center, all practically within walking distance: paper, printers, binders, stats, Xerox, etc" (City Lights Records, Box 8, Folder 20).'

A country flavor is sprinkled on the opening tune "Let It Rhyme," where Morrison sings, "Too much water flowing underneath the bridge / Let the world go by / Contemplate what is ..."
