Notes:
A somewhat disappointing album after the masterpiece "The Use Of Ashes". In fact, this album consists largely of surplus songs from the Use Of Ashes sessions. Besides being a very short album, is also contains several covers. Approx. 16 minutes of true Tom Rapp songs remain, and those are the best of the album.
Note that the album is credited to both Tom (Thomas) Rapp and Pearls Before Swine.

The Players:
Tom Rapp: Vocals, Guitar
Elisabeth: Vocals

See the "Use Of Ashes" album credits for the full list. Note that the group pictured on the back of the cover consisted of Tom Rapp, Jon Tooker (guitar), Gordon Hayes (bass) and Michael Krawitz (keyboards). The latter three did not actually play on the album, but this was the line-up that toured as the Pearls Before Swine in 1971.

My Favorites: Once Upon A Time, Raindrops, Wedding, Did You Dream Of
