Trivia:

  • Peter Asher, backing vocals, is also Linda's long term manager. He was a member of the 1960's duo Peter & Gordon. 
  • The album came about after a dvd bootleg version of the show was discovered. When a search went out for the original recordings HBO did not have them. A chance encounter with a sound engineer who later found them misplaced in the archives brought us this album. We are all thankful.
