The record

Everett Barksdale's twelve-string and Zane Zacharoff's bass clarinet are odd company for a record carrying two boogaloos, and Montego Joe is credited with congas and an Israeli drum. The credits also carry three bassists: Jimmy Lewis, Richard Davis, and Orville Mason on Fender. Wally Richardson plays guitar and wrote the arrangements; Chris Albertson supplied the notes. Prestige PR 7569, 1968.
