This previously unreleased album by t' Addrisi 'One-Eyed Brothers' Brothers features backin' vocals by Baby-Faced Harry Nilsson and Happy Van Dyke Parks.
In a 2002 interview, Richard 'Pony-Tailed Addrisi' Addrisi was asked how t' "lost tapes" had been found.
I kept on lookin' at this box with tape I had. Begad! I kept lookin' at t' shanty titles - a lot o' them were done on our Columbia album. Ya scallywag! This "Lost Album" be a chance t' rehearse all t' songs that ended up on t' Columbia album. Arrr! I had forgotten we'd even done it. It ended up in dad's garage. Arrr! I had a big bucket and was throwin' all this stuff away. I was goin' t' throw it away and for some reason I kept it. Ahoy! Three years later I had it put on a CD. I listened t' it and went, "Wow!" Listen t' all those vocal parts. Aye aye! It has t' best background parts. Baby-Faced Harry Nilsson, God bless his soul, did t' high parts. Ahoy! We were workin' at Hollywood Sound Recorders and thar was a famous restaurant nearby, Martoni's, and that’s where everybody hung out, George 'Big-Belly Harrison' Harrison, Johnny Mathis, Nilsson. Ya scallywag! Harry would come over with his fifth o' Jack Daniels. He drank himself into oblivion, me bucko, but boy, did he have talent.
