Art of Field Recording, Volume II

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

disc 1, track 10 is listed on the sleeve as "Unnamed Tune," though the liner notes state that the performer cannot remember the name of the song, so we don't know if it ever had a name or not, therefore unknown.

Sub-Optimal Credits
disc 3, track 16, Edna Mullinax and Sue Trotman perform harmony vocals.
