"Peter And The Wolf" and their version of "Carnival Of The Animals."

4. Did you know each track was recorded separately? |
|
Adds a certain 'labor intensive' nature to the deal...

12. A Moog only lets you play one note at a time |
|
Unlike pianos, organs and harpsichords...
That makes it that much more impressive...

10. Yeah, having toyed around a bit with analog synth programming... |
|
Putting together arrangements of that complexity, especially with 60s recording equipment must have been an insane amount of work.

9. I grew up listening to that one. |
|
It was one of my dad's favorites back then. It may still be. He used to play it all the time. Loudly.

13. CBS masterworks "half-speed mastered" edition. |
|
Been played twice in 30 years. Once to check it out, then once to make a tape of it. Need to play it again to make a CD, since the tape's been gone for years.

6. They went back and changed the cover text? |
|
I remember when she changed her name to Wendy, I was confused.
