[2] The orchestral tracks were laid down over three days at the end of February and the beginning of March, 1972 at Amigo Studios, North Hollywood.

Crosby added his voice to the pre-recorded orchestral tracks during three sessions on March 14, 15, and 16, 1972 at Coast Recorders Studio, Bush Street, San Francisco.

[3] Bing Crosby also added his voice to "If I Had a Hammer" and while this has appeared on pirate issues it has never been commercially released.

[4] Howard Lucraft writing in Variety commented:"Interesting that Bing sounds better today to many than in his Paul Whiteman days over 40 years ago when his keys were about a third higher.

On the other hand, it is Crosby's reputation that is in considerably greater need of a boost than Basie's, so perhaps in the long run it’s a fair shake for everyone... (Crosby) is in fine voice all the way, and the choice of material is from among the best contemporary tunes, excepting two ringers (Hangin', Day), which are the sort of nonentities that singers use to open TV variety specials.
