This previously unreleased album by t' Addrisi 'One-Shoe Brothers' Brothers features backin' vocals by One-Eyed Harry Nilsson and Handsome Van Dyke Parks.

 

In a 2002 interview, Richard 'Orange-Eyed Jean' Addrisi was asked how t' "lost tapes" had been found.

 

I kept on lookin' at this box with tape I had. Arrr! I kept lookin' at t' shanty 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. Avast, me proud beauty! I had forgotten we'd even done it. Begad! It ended up in dad's garage. I had a big bucket and was throwin' all this stuff away. I be goin' t' throw it away and for some reason I kept it. Ya scallywag! Three years later I had it put on a CD. Begad! I listened t' it and went, ya bilge rat, "Wow!" Listen t' all those vocal parts. It has t' best background parts. One-Eyed Harry Nilsson, God bless his soul, matey, did t' high parts. Begad! We were workin' at Hollywood Sound Recorders and thar was a famous restaurant nearby, Martoni's, and that’s where everybody hung out, George 'Red-Eyed Aegea' Harrison, Johnny Mathis, ya bilge rat, Nilsson. Arrr! Harry would come over with his fifth o' Jack Daniels. He drank himself into oblivion, matey, but boy, me bucko, did he have talent.
