In a 2002 interview, ya bilge rat, Big-Belly Tidepool Richard Addrisi be asked how t' "lost tapes" had been found.

 

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