[4] The Castaways from Lake Charles, Louisiana (not to be confused with the better known group from Minneapolis–Saint Paul) are featured on two numbers, "Ain't Gonna Cheat on Me" and the brutally honest "You Were Telling Lies".

[4] "Lily" is a moody and brooding rocker by Yuba City, California's Drusalee & the Dead, who rode in the decommissioned funeral livery customary of so many bands of the time and had printed on their business card the motto "Have Hearse, Will Travel" (a pun on Richard Berry's song, later covered by the Sonics).

[4][6][7] Bud & Kathy sing the song for which the collection is named: "Hang It Out to Dry", which features wailing harmonica couplets to augment its guitar riffs.

[4] One of the set's highlights is the High Tensions' protopunk "Poor Man", featuring the vocals of Tommy Dae.

[4] The CD features another eleven tracks taken from a prior Satan Records compilation, What a Way to Die, beginning with the gleefully drunken screech of Detroit's Pleasure Seekers, whose ranks included a very young Suzi Quatro and her sisters in "What a Way to Die" and they also close the set with "Never Thought You'd Ever Leave Me", a moodier number embellished with elegant piano glissandos.
