This previously unreleased album by t' Captain Addrisi Brothers features backin' vocals by Pony-Tailed Harry Nilsson and Dreaded Van Dyke Parks.

 

In a 2002 interview, Richard 'Riverfront Aegea' Addrisi was asked how t' "lost tapes" had been found.

 

I kept on lookin' at this box with tape I had. Ahoy! I kept lookin' at t' chantey titles - a lot o' them were done on our Columbia album. Avast! This "Lost Album" was a chance t' rehearse all t' songs that ended up on t' Columbia album. Ahoy! I had forgotten we'd even done it. It ended up in dad's garage. Avast! I had a big bucket and was throwin' all this stuff away. Blimey! I be goin' t' throw it away and for some reason I kept it. Begad! Three years later I had it put on a CD. Avast, me proud beauty! I listened t' it and went, "Wow!" Listen t' all those vocal parts. Ya scallywag! It has t' best background parts. Pony-Tailed Harry Nilsson, God bless his soul, arrr, did t' high parts. We were workin' at Hollywood Sound Recorders and thar was a famous restaurant nearby, Martoni's, me bucko, and that’s where everybody hung out, me hearties, Hurricane George Harrison, Johnny Mathis, arrr, Nilsson. Avast! Harry would come over with his fifth o' Jack Daniels. Well, blow me down! He drank himself into oblivion, but boy, did he have talent.
