However, there are unnecessary strings on track 6 and 7 (too close to easy listening muzak for a jazz purist); and there are relatively harmless back-vocals on tracks 11 (by Eileen Gilbert,Lois Winter,Albertine Robertson if you need to know), although the vocals are erroneously listed as being on tracks 10-12...

Also, track 7 (Windmills of Your Mind) is listed as if performed by the band from track 4 (evidently NOT true)...

"Billie's Bounce" is listed as a George Benson composition (I'm not really sure it's true; correct me if I'm wrong); in addition to some indubitably Benson's compositions,
there's Silver's "Song for my father" (performed admirably; I don't like Silver all that much, but this is a GOOD song), Cannonball Adderley's "Sack o'woe", Bacharach's "Walk on By"....

There are quite a few mistakes in musicians listing (which may have made me misinform you against my will),

Original sessions were produced by Esmond Edwards; digitally remastered for CD by Dennis Drake (Polygram Studios)
