This album was recorded in August 1966 by a group of NY arts people
asociated with the underground newspaper The East Village Other
(e.g. Ed Sanders, Tuli Kupferberg of the Fugs). The bulk of the album
consists of chanting, poetry and sounds. The Velvet Underground contribution
is an instrumental well-hiden behind the voice of Lyndon Johnson's
daughter Lucy Byrd being interviewed on her wedding day.
